Artur Mas has defended today the corruption allegations against his party blaming the State has been responsible for orchestrating a campaign to attack him and combat the Catalan process. ‘As a consequence of this if we had embarked on an independence project, we would have had more problems with justice’.
Mas assured he knows how a State works, ‘when it is convenient, it destroys, pays confidents to put together lies and then from their political power they make use of these lies’. Artur Mas was responding to a speech made by Inés Arrimadas of Ciudadanos. ‘For having sent us down this road we face some problems with justice, in other conditions that wouldn’t be so’. Mas insisted ‘there are suspicions in many places, but one thing is suspicion and another is real cases’. ‘In public work there are no irregularities of the type they claim, although I don’t deny there could have been administrative irregularities’, he said in his replica in the investiture debate.
The leader of Democratic Convergence of Cataluña boasted for having ‘confronted’ all the large powers of State. ‘There is nobody left: central Government, the Constitutional Court, the Spanish Parliament, a good part of the IBEX 35, the media powers, we have confronted them all and without censure’.
Mas also again denied the allegation that he had split the Catalan people and defended their right to decide with a contribution comparable to the ‘history of humanity’ for the right for women to vote, or the civil rights of the blacks in the United States. ‘Unjust laws have been combated and changed. When there are democratic, civic, plural and transversal movements, the governors have the obligation to listen, sit down at the table and to search for the best way forward to meet this grievance’.
