“The PSOE and the separatists have used the autonomous system to break up Spain.”

The doctor of Law and State lawyer, Jesus Trillo-Figueroahe stated, at the presentation of his latest book The kingdom of autonomythat “The failure of the autonomous model does not belong to the system, it belongs to the politicians”. Trillo-Figueroa expresses how there have been Basque and Catalan separatist groups that have used the autonomous system to “break up Spain.” “You cannot build a project of life together when some gentlemen go against that project of life together.”

Furthermore, the author classifies the reforms of the autonomies as necessary, alluding to the consensus of 78 as a necessary symbol of the cooperation that conflict demands. «On one side are the separatists, allied with the government, and on the other, those who criticize the autonomous system in such a way that they want to end the autonomies. Betwixt and between”.

For his part, the former Minister of the Interior Jaime Mayor Orejafocuses on the short memory with ETA and nationalisms: «ETA is the worst of inheritances. But ETA is going to govern, in the Basque Country and Navarra. “Based on legitimizing it, legalizing it and ultimately whitewashing it, is the logic of that process.”

The former president is exhaustive with his statements, alleging that there is no possible consensus for the reforms of the autonomies: «Now what we have to do is democratically expel Sánchez. Before consensus, we must avoid the totalitarian tendency that is undoubtedly behind your project. “What is at risk is not autonomy, it is democracy.”

Alicia Garciathe PP spokesperson in the Senate, accuses Pedro Sánchez of not being “loyal nor cooperative.” For her, the big problem with the autonomous model is the president of the Government, highlighting that «“It is being totally contrary, since the Popular Party governs in almost all the autonomous communities.”

The parliamentary representative considers the autonomous reforms inadequate at this time, since the next step must be to expel Pedro Sanchez of the presidency: “What we have to do is have a decent, clean Government that governs for the citizens who live in the autonomous communities where the Popular Party governs and not against them.”

For Paco Marhuendathe root of the conflict is based on the “disloyalty of the socialist party and nationalist parties”. The director of The reason is concise: «They have an approach absolutely selfish of what the action unit is. There should be a principle of loyal collaboration and solidarity. Spain is very big and the Spanish deserve to care about everyone.

Marhuenda calls the possible consensus for the reforms of the autonomies unrealistic: «It is more of a cliché than a reality. As long as the Popular Party and the Socialist Party do not go hand in hand, it is absolutely impossible to face any reform.
