The last session ended on a high note, with the Civil Guard's Central Operative Unit (UCO) accusing the prosecutor of being the leaker, which he denied. Judging by what was seen and heard, the prosecution has failed to prove that Álvaro García Ortiz was the leaker. Rather, the defense has presented witnesses who demonstrate that news of the agreement between Ayuso's partner and the Tax Agency was already circulating before the infamous email was in the Attorney General's possession.</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[Junts has decided to treat Sánchez like a dirty rag, emphasizing that it has nothing to do with him, except for having made him president, but that was just a one-off and doesn't commit them to anything. By telling him to his face that he's a cynic and a hypocrite, Junts wanted to make it clear, for the umpteenth time, that its break with the PSOE is irreversible. It's a risky move, considering that, when new elections come around, voters will be heavily influenced by whether the election is about democracy or fascism, however much the PSOE, in so many respects, especially regarding Catalonia, is as much a party of the state as the PP.]]></subtitle>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[Since immigration is a fundamental element of the situation, Catalan identity is affected by the fact that Catalan is not compulsory, that Spanish has a multi-million dollar market, that young Catalans cannot afford an apartment, and if there is no apartment, if there is no nest egg, there are no children. And if public services are severely strained, it is because Catalonia is poorly funded. It would be unfair to reduce the problems of the survival of Catalan identity to immigration.]]></subtitle>

This time, for an interview that Jordi Évole did with him on the La Sexta programme<em> The thing about Évole</em>, which will be broadcast on Sunday. The ERC deputy has attacked the independence movement, stating that during the years of the Process "purity cards were handed out", something that he says he participated in and which he is now ashamed of, he says. After the La Sexta journalist asked him about the mistakes that the independence movement has made in the last decade, the Republican deputy responded: "Handing out purity cards. I have participated. I am ashamed."</p>]]></description>
