The processes that the Government Delegation has opened against Catalan town councils for not installing Spanish flags have been initiated after individual complaints that have reached the organization from opposition councilors and councilors of those town councils, or from citizens of the municipalities . However, the institution explains to this newspaper that, in any of those cases in which the Flag Law is not complied with, “ acting may be taken ex officio .” The sources consulted recall that, a few months ago, this was already done against the city council of Rasquera (Tarragona), which approved the planting of a marijuana field in the municipality .The event was going to be held in 2012, but the events of the Diada and the subsequent regional elections altered the calendar. As El Confidencial Digital has learned , the desire of Fomento del Trabajo is to send this message to the Catalan president: “Mr. Mas, not that way. Secession is not the way.” Businessmen will demand a return to the Madrid-Barcelona dialogue and a tax pact. The Catalan employers' association is looking for a venue for the event and is already working on preparing the event. Zero support The main Catalan business leaders, with well-known names, have mobilized the rest of the businessmen against the independence drift.
In addition to Fomento del Trabajo , all the major Catalan sectors (food, cava wineries, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, steel and metal) are positioned against secessionism. According to the sources consulted, the hard core of the Catalan South Korea Phone Number business community has already said it directly to Artur Mas : “Zero support for your project. "Either you freeze the secessionist project and negotiate a fiscal pact with Madrid, or we make public that we do not support you." The most emphatic continues to be Lara, owner of Grupo Planeta , who has invited Mas to retrace his path and let go of the arm of Esquerra Republicana as soon as possible. 'Ice fence' Catalan business leaders have woven an 'ice fence' around Artur Mas and his independence project, according to media close to them. The strategy is for employers and sectors to position themselves against the independence project and let Mas know. Until now, only Fomento del Trabajo has publicly spoken out against the independence program and the announcement of an illegal referendum. The pressure from big businessmen on Gay de Montellá , president of Fomento, pushed him to take the step, despite many doubts and fear of the violent reaction of the Generalitat. That pressure has shifted to the Catalan sectorial companies, all on the same wavelength as Fomento .
The Generalitat only has the support of regional employers' associations, and SMEs that it generously subsidizes and where it has placed CiU people. But radicalism has decreased If it becomes public that the big food businessmen, the winemakers , the pharmaceutical businessmen, the chemical multinationals, the steel industry, the textile industry, that is, the cream of the Catalan business community, not only do they not support it, but they are against the independence project , the political cost for Artur Mas would be very serious. Little less than a torpedo on the waterline of the Generalitat. The businessmen have perceived that Mas has greatly reduced the level of radicalism of his initial speech and has stopped using systematic expressions of political confrontation with Madrid, but they do not trust this political feint ; That's not enough for them. The 'pinyol' The employers trust that in the coming months the events, and especially the CiU crisis, will lead the president of the Generalitat to rewind and look for a way out of the difficult situation in which he has put Catalonia and Spain . One of the things that worries them most is the pressure exerted by the small group of “ pinyol”, Oriol Pujol, Francesc Homs and company , who have literally surrounded Mas and do not give in: they continue to embark on the staunch independence discourse and radical. “Deactivating Homs, Pujol, Puig and company is not easy at all. They have Mas by the neck and it is not easy for them to let go.
