If the role of the Council for the Republic was the focus of tension between Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and Together for Catalonia (JxCat) before Pere Aragonès was invested president, the judicial processes against pro-independence demonstrators were part of the discussion with Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP). The Government pledged to withdraw en bloc from all cases against demonstrators in which there were no proven injuries to Catalan police officers or there were insufficient guarantees to identify alleged aggressors. A commitment, however, the executive now admits it will not be able to fulfil, sources in the Presidency department have explained to ARA.
