Sumar specifies that its program will include a consultation to ratify the agreement of the dialogue table in Catalonia

MADRID, 22 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Sumar will include in its electoral program the proposal for a consultation in Catalonia for the ratification of the agreement that arises from the dialogue table, according to what sources of the candidacy led by the vice president, Yolanda Díaz, have indicated to Europa Press.

This is how they have transferred it after the head of the list for Barcelona and leader of En Comú Podem, Aina Vidal, alluded today in an act in Sabadell that the programmatic proposal would mention a self-determination referendum for Catalonia.

"In the referendum we are where we have always been. Catalonia must vote for its future. It will form part of our electoral program," Vidal remarked when asked by the media.

In this regard, Sumar sources have stressed that the 'commons' "defend what they have always defended for Catalonia" and that Sumar will have as a programmatic point "a consultation for the ratification of an agreement between Catalonia and the rest of Spain that arises from the dialogue table", which is negotiated by the Government and the Generalitat.

Sumar's position is similar to that formulated in January by the Minister of Universities, Juan Subirats, who in an interview with Europa Press stated that the dialogue table process should also include a consultation with the citizens.

Then, he stated that there is an "implicit logic" in the coalition government, which is the will to negotiate with the Catalan Generalitat and that has been "super-demonstrated during all this time." "These are the two elements (dialogue and consultation) that are part of the common baggage in which this government has placed itself," he deepened.

The traditional position of Unidas Podemos during this legislature was based on the defense of the "right to decide" in Catalonia, but that in that hypothetical consultation they would defend their permanence in Spain, as various officials from the purple formation have exposed, such as the still parliamentary spokesperson, Pablo Echenique.

"There is no need to be afraid of consulting the people and therefore tools such as the referendum," also said in December last year the secretary of the Podemos Organization and now also a candidate in fourth place for Barcelona, ​​Lilith Verstrynge.
