Arrimadas denies that separatism is weaker: "It has never had as much strength to decide in Spain as it does now"

MADRID, 27 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of Ciudadanos, Inés Arrimadas, has denied this Thursday that separatism is weaker and has assured that ERC and Bildu had not had as much power in Spain as they do now with the Government of Pedro Sánchez.

"I think that separatism has never had as much strength to decide what happens in Spain as it does now", assured the leader of the 'orange' formation in an interview on Onda Cero, which Europa Press has collected, today that marks five years of the unilateral declaration of independence and the application of article 155 of the Constitution.

Arrimadas considers that in 2017 "they braked so much" that now society has the natural tendency to say "well, at least they are not declaring independence." "They are not declaring independence every day, but they are working for independence every day and now with more power, because they know that they have the Government of Spain like they have never had," he assured.

However, the leader of Cs has assured that the independence movement knows that "they cannot re-declare independence or hold an illegal referendum" because constitutionalism will respond to them, although they "indoctrinate, manipulate the media or point out those who They don't think like them."

"It had never happened in Catalonia that a minister came out to say that the sentences were not going to be carried out," he stressed, referring to the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) that sets 25 percent of Spanish in the classrooms .

However, he has emphasized that constitutionalism will be reorganized if they do it again. "What needs to change now is that the Government of Spain does not continue to treat them as if they were heroes, as if they were right and as if what they did was not so serious," he added.
