“We have to decide if we want to live together or continue in the conflict”

by time news

The president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, has defended this Tuesday that the reform of the crime of sedition is “the correct line” because “what it is about is deciding if we want to live together or if we want to remain in the conflict and in the confrontation” , while on the crime of embezzlement he has advocated waiting to see in what terms his modification in the Penal Code is planned.

Puig, in statements to the media, has stressed in this regard that “the path of coexistence is always dialogue” while “remaining entrenched in the confrontation can serve electorally but they are votes stained with indignity.”

In this regard, he has stressed that this reform “must be framed in a situation of reunion of coexistence and of the relationship between Catalonia and the whole of Spain” and in this sense he has stressed: “Now we are much better than we were in times of rupture and fracture”.

For this reason, he has opted “we must move in that direction” and has also stressed that if this reform “helps to Europeanize this crime” it is “the correct line”.

Puig has pointed out that within the rule of law “we have to understand ourselves as we are, not as someone would like the other to be” because “Spain is a plural nation, which has a diversity of languages, cultures and ways of understanding Spain” . “The Spain of the Spains is the one that supports diversity, plurality and that believes in a common project, but for that we have to want who we are”.

On the other hand, regarding the reform of the crime of embezzlement, he pointed out that “we must see under what conditions it arises.” “Respect for sedition is a step in the right direction but with respect to other reforms of the Criminal Code you have to see it,” he added.
