PSC’s Esther Niubó: “We need a very broad social compact to overcome this situation”

The spokeswoman for the Catalan Socialist Party (PSC), Esther Niubó, said in an interview with Catalan News that the Catalan political parties have to reach “a new agreement, a very broad social compact in order to overcome” the current situation. “For us it’s important to overcome the situation of division in Catalan society into two sides. For us it is not that important whether pro-independence forces are more or less than 50 per cent and the other side is 50 percent,” she stated.

The spokeswoman of the Catalan socialists noted that “all political parties should reach this new agreement” and then “it would be the time to vote” if “this new social deal” has “broad support” or not. 

According to Niubó, the December 21 elections are “an election to elect a president of the Catalan government” and warned that the new government “will in no event be legitimized to disobey and to break the law.” “The constitution and the rule of law need to be obeyed,” insisted Niubó.
