The CUP has broken the silence it had held for a week to explain under what conditions it wants to move forward towards the Catalan republic. Six elected members including the head of the list, Antonio Baños, have given the conditions for negotiating with Junts pel Sí in an event that drew enormous media expectation and with the attendance of members from Junts pel Sí. They call for disobedience, a breakaway from the Spanish state and to be able to begin the constituent process.

They talked about measures that make it clear that the process towards independence is irreversible, constituent and with a clear vocation for social change. ‘We know that the process is collective and deep. Junts pel Sí is the only group that can form a government and it has to form one’, said Josep Manel Busqueta.

Disobedience of the Constitutional Court

Benet Salellas was clear and called for disobedience of the Spanish Constitutional Court, ‘If this process is to go ahead, there will be a break and the break must occur before the proclamation of a government or a president.’ And he added, ‘We do not intend to obey any further decisions of the Constitutional Court,’ said Salellas. ‘We want the court to institutionally be declared not competent. We will not recognise the condition of a court that decides to cancel the protection of poverty or right to housing. This cries out for a break with this legality.’
To finish, he insisted that there was no change of opinion on what they had said after the 27-S, in other words that they refuse to invest Artur Mas as president. Another thing will be the formulae that they can find to ensure that this is no impediment for agreement with Junts pel Sí.
