The Catalan government is calling for a massive voter turnout on Sunday, to avoid a victory for the far-right and “their persecutory mania against Catalonia”. Patrícia Plaja, spokesperson for the Catalan government, responded to the statements made by Vox candidate Santiago Abascal, who at a breakfast organised by Europa Press guaranteed a “sustained” intervention in Catalonia, in the event that his party reaches the Spanish government, as opposed to the “155 joke” executed by the PP.
“I have “no doubt” that political tensions will return if the right and the extreme right manage to reach the Spanish government, and when asked if a situation similar to that of 2017 could be repeated, he assured that it could be “worse”, given that his proposal is to increase the crackdown against Catalonia,” said Abascal.
