And Trump and Netanyahu made an appearance in Parliament.

BarcelonaOne of the paradoxes of the post-Process and the peace The autonomist movement imposed by Salvador Illa is that international politics is being discussed more in Parliament than ever. Whether deliberately or accidentally. Sílvia Orriols spoke out completely consciously, appearing with a heart emblazoned with the Israeli flag on her jacket and unabashedly defending Benjamin Netanyahu's government's response to the Hamas attacks two years ago. Not even Ignacio Garriga of Vox dared to go so far. As for Junts, this Wednesday they voted in favor of an arms embargo on Israel and on Tuesday they stood up to applaud Pilar Castillejo, CUP deputy and Flotilla participant. However, neither their spokesperson, Albert Batet, nor Carles Puigdemont spoke. genocide. These are the balances of a party that lives between two waters.

Batet did consider it a good idea to bring Donald Trump's name out of his pocket to define Salvador Illa's way of governing. The president of the Generalitat (Catalan government) took it almost as a joke despite admitting that it had "hurt him a little." Shortly after, Batet accused Isla of being a hostage to the Comuns (Communist Party) and of wanting to make a pact even with the CUP (Coup), something the real Donald Trump would never do. "You have reached quite a few agreements with the CUP," Illa responded, recalling some municipal pacts between the council members and the CUP (Party of the People's Party), such as the one in Girona.

Visit to the Pope

The president also sought to address accusations of wanting to "provincialize" Catalonia by boasting about his recent trip to the Vatican to meet with the Pope, that is, a head of state. "I am the first Spanish leader to visit him," he proclaimed. By saying "Spanish," Batet saw his accusation confirmed: "I should have said the first Catalan."

Another international focus has been the references to the contacts between the PSOE and Junts in Geneva. The Junts want the PSC to back down by voting on the preamble to the Brussels Agreement, which speaks of "resolving the historic conflict over the political future of Catalonia." But in reality, all that emerges from this debate is a clear idea of what Isla wants to do: apartments, apartments, and more apartments.
