The

all against Illa

of the last hours of the campaign had its reissue in last night's electoral debate in La Sexta, the last one before the appointment with the polls and the roughest, marked by clashes and disqualifications between the candidates.

The strategy became clear as soon as it began, when the candidate of Junts per Catalunya, Laura Borràs, that of Ciudadanos, Carlos Carrizosa, and that of the PP, Alejandro Fernández, demanded that the socialist put on the mask for having refused to take the test of the covid-19.

The controversy over the Illa test had occupied the campaign since the socialist declined to submit to the test in the previous electoral debate, that of TV3, and the right wing and the independentistas instilled suspicions without evidence that he had been vaccinated irregularly.

The former Minister of Health stirred from the first minute: “Everything goes against Illa, even slander.

Of course I have not been vaccinated.

I hope they apologize to the Catalans ”.

The debate, minute by minute

A pact against Illa and against ERC

The independence veto to the PSC adds uncertainty to the polls in Catalonia

The tension

grew in crescendo

in the first block, which ended like a cage of crickets, with discussions that had to be stopped by the moderating journalist, Ana Pastor.

The accusations of "fascists" and "terrorists" flew, and the interventions of the candidate of the extreme right, who insisted in his speech of criminalizing immigration and charging against the supposed "Islamization" of Catalonia, ended several times shouting with others.

The parties tried to wear down the socialist candidate with the stir of the test in the first minutes, exploiting the controversy to the maximum.

"He has given positive in the irresponsibility test and negative in the exemplary test," Borrás reproached Illa.

Aragonés even said that Illa reminded him of "Donald Trump", and Alejandro Fernández accused the socialist of "lack of exemplary and camaraderie" with everyone else for avoiding the test.

“Exemplarity is rejecting privileges and overacting.

Why wasn't a test done on TVE? ”Illa answered annoyed, alluding to the first electoral debate, in which no one took the test.

The Ministry of Health certified yesterday that the socialist candidate has not received the covid vaccine.

The attacks gave centrality to the candidate of the PSC, who repeatedly had the floor because he was all the time alluded to by the rest.

Illa maintained the calm tone that is used to despite the tension.

Difficult sum

The discussion certified the difficult sum for a government after February 14: the crossed vetoes became apparent again.

The independentists reaffirmed that they will only agree between themselves and that they will not do so in any case with the PSC, as they put in writing in a commitment revealed yesterday that Illa described as "the new photo of Columbus."

"The photo of Colón is you in the Catalan Civil Society demonstration," replied Aragonès, with whom the socialist had several clashes, from presidential to presidential.

The ERC candidate was forceful in ruling out any pact with the PSC, despite the fact that the right and Junts Per Catalunya accuse both parties of having a hidden agreement.

“We will not accept the votes neither affirmative nor the abstention of the PSC.

And we will vote no to the investiture of Illa ”, decided Aragonés.

Jéssica Albiach, from En Comú Podem, played down the manifesto of the independentistas, describing it as "a joke."

And Carlos Carrizosa, from Ciudadanos, was left alone defending the agreement between constitutionalists.

The candidates sought the melee: they highlighted the clashes between PP and Vox, between ERC and PSC and between the pro-independence partners.

Laura Borràs, the other candidate who, according to the polls, competes together with Illa and Aragonés for the first place, clashed with Aragonés and Àngels Chacon, from PDeCAT, who aspire to steal votes from her.

The Junts candidate avoided answering the question of whether she will promote a new unilateral declaration of independence if she becomes president.

That question, he said, was too "complex" to answer in the debate.

The CUP noted that it would not claim another DUI [unilateral declaration of independence] for an investiture.

And after two hours of accusations, reproaches and few proposals, the candidates put on the mask again and went home.
