Puigdemont worried about Trump victory and the “new uncertainties” it will bring
The election of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States will bring “new uncertainties”, according to Catalan President, Carles Puigdemont. He emphasised that this position has “quite unanimity” amongst the Catalan sovereigntist parties, since they are all against populism. Despite admitting that the election of Trump was not good news for him, Puigdemont stated that the American citizens’ decision must be respected. During this Wednesday’s plenary session, Catalan Conservative People’s Party (PPC) leader, Xavier García Albiol, also commented on Trump’s election. “I don’t know if the upcoming President of the US will build a wall, but you have built an invisible barrier between good Catalans, those who support independence, and bad Catalans”, he said, addressing Puigdemont.
