Some 500 people protest in Barcelona against Pedro Sánchez

The rally, called by the constitutionalist platform Catalonia Suma, saw the participation of the secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga; the president of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández; the deputy of Ciudadanos in the Parliament, Joan García and the president of Valents, Eva Parera, among other representatives of these political groups.

The demonstration in Barcelona comes after thousands of citizens also protested in the center of Madrid on Saturday for the pacts by the Sánchez Government with ERC, such as the recent Penal Code reform, which abolishes the crime of sedition and modifies the crime of embezzlement.

The president of the platform Catalonia Suma, Javier Megino, has read during the act a manifesto in which he has warned the President of the Government that “Spain is not for sale”, since in the opinion of this association the governability of the country is “subjected” to “separatism”.

“Liberticidal laws”

For his part, the secretary general of Vox, Ignacio Garriga made the call on Sunday to build a new “urgent alternative” to “evict” the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, from Moncloa, whom he accuses of “assaulting” democracy and of creating an “institutional coup” with his pacts with the pro-independence supporters.

In statements to the media, the leader of Vox has called for “an urgent alternative” to kick Sánchez out of the Government and in doing so, has launched a message to the opposition parties at the national level.

“Who’s side are you on, the side of the Spanish people as a whole or of Pedro Sánchez and his partners?”, he asked the rest of the parties, although in a clear reference to the PP.

He has assured, in this sense, that Vox will continue working to “evict” Pedro Sánchez from the Government, a president who, he has said, “openly works against Spaniards, with totalitarian policies and liberticide laws“, which “permanently attack” democracy, carries out an “institutional coup” in collusion with its “separatist” partners and “is willing to undermine” the institutions and the rule of law.

Garriga has reiterated his commitment to the Catalans and warned that his party “will not take a single step back”, but will continue to “battle” from the institutions, the courts and from the street to kick Pedro Sánchez out and “all his separatist philo-terrorist partners and the unconstitutionalist socialism“.

“A tragala.”

For his part, the president of the Catalan PP, Alejandro Fernández, has accused the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, of “making a trágala” of ” dividing the Spaniards against each other” with his agreements with the Catalan pro-independence supporters.

Valents president, Eva Parera, has stated that Spaniards and Catalans “feel abandoned” by the Sánchez Government, who “has betrayed” the citizens of Catalonia, above all, the constitutionalists.

In the protest, the demonstrators displayed Spanish and Catalonian flags, banners with slogans such as ‘in defense of the Constitution’ or ‘for peaceful civil disobedience’, and photos of the President of the Government wearing a prisoner’s suit with the phrase ‘we want to see you there.”
