Catalan municipalities employ a legal ruse to hold the consultation sovereigntist

by Clara Blanche / El País


Unlike what happened last September with consultation on the independence of Catalonia, held in Arenys de Munt-be banned by the court to install local polls in the Town Hall, on Sunday, the 13th, many municipal offices will be used as polling stations in the 161 locations where they held a similar consultation. The consistories have used a legal device that allows them to circumvent the ban.

In the minutes that sent the delegation of the Government include the approval of the motions of consultation, but without specifying where it held.

"So far not detected any irregularity in the proceedings that have sent the municipalities and has studied the Bar of the State," he said last Thursday a spokeswoman for the delegation. On Tuesday, the delegate, Joan Rangel, has announced that for now no violations of the law.

Esquerra Republicana, one of the independentists political organizations, has plans to mobilize its leaders for consultations.  Their top leaders will visit a dozen cities with mayors of training independence day of voting. The party of Joan Puigcercós wants to regain some lost ground to their constituents. Another catalan party, Convergència i Unió, for its part, does not foster the consultations, but gives freedom to its members.
