Barcelona. (Editorial) .- Jordi Pujol will appear in the Parlament to give explanations for having a fortune abroad several million hidden from Spanish hacienda, according to the daily The Country expresident quoting sources close to the Government. According to these sources Pujol has reached “personal conviction” that is accountable, extensively, in the Catalan society.
The Institutional Affairs Committee of the Parliament approve the appearance on September 2. Some sources are the same day may give explanations Pujol.
The decision of the trustee, the newspaper would not be alien to the pressure that has been subjected in recent weeks after his own party CDC confession Pujol July 25.
As detailed La Vanguardia, in recent days the pressure of nationalist formation has increased with statements of its leaders until Tuesday coordinator of procedure and communication, Francesc Sánchez, met with Pujol’s Queralbs to transfer “in political terms, what the party believes that Pujol should do.” According Rull, Sanchez was appointed to meet with the expresident because summers in Ribes de Freser, just ten kilometers, but without forgetting that it is the representative of CDC in judicial matters and became one of the great defenders of Oriol Pujol Ferrusola since he was accused by the High Court of Justice of Catalonia in the cause of ITV.
The family has adopted a defense strategy that involves attempting to block information requests from the High Court and . magistrate court number 31 of Barcelona and report the source of the leak of information about your account
In the convergent direction, openly admitted his disappointment: “It hurts us,” and make it clear that strategy attorneys Pujol family responds to a “private” decision, even using political arguments to refute information lawsuits. The general coordinator of CDC, Josep Rull , was responsible for putting land in between from Prada conflent. “We are not aware of the strategy of defense is a decision of his family and will not make any valuation “. But if it was not clear, he said immediately afterwards that Convergència “has initiated an internal process of recasting and not for us to evaluate judicial strategies specific people.”
The obsession Convergència is trying to move on with Pujol explanations, although there is also in the party who believes that the appearance is not a guarantee to prevent the commission of inquiry. Some fear that parliamentary activity falls within the defense strategy and expresident merely making a statement on the recommendation of his lawyers and not answer the questions of the parliamentary groups. In this case the ball is on the roof of ERC as it threatened not to support but to promote the commission of inquiry if Pujol passing by the Parliament was not satisfactory. In any case, the tone remained Rull yesterday to ask the expresident Pujol “respect” to the request of the majority of Catalan Camera and argued that the hearing occur “naturally.”
And although the party distance is increasingly Pujol, which is not on the table is the card claim Pujol said Rull, determined not to speculate on the matter. While no one is aware that if the expresident renounces his character Convergència militant training will be “respectful of the decisions you can make Pujol,” admitted the general coordinator of the training.
In the pressure expresident to have participated in recent days Joan Rigol himself and Vice President of the Government, Joana Ortega, as well as the Minister of Agriculture and Unio Secretary General, Josep Maria Pelegri, who yesterday called Pujol give explanations. Pelegri followed the script of Convergence to decouple the nationalist federation defense strategy Pujol – “It is a personal decision that is part of the private sphere.” – And ensure that the sovereignty process is outside the case Pujol
From what can not be preserved is the political use made PP and PSOE in Congress. CiU facing a debate Tuesday in permanent account Socialists’ request for the minister Cristóbal Montoro explain if the Pujol family council filed for tax amnesty and what research has been carried out later. The meaning of the vow of the Nationalist Federation remains formally decide though is not the most likely. However, sources in the federation considered important to establish the political judgment of the parliamentary group in Madrid, which will be the first to face discussion with the case on the table, so it is expected to do the Artur Mas and Josep Antoni own Duran Lleida.
