Overview

• Podemos rejected Jordi Turull’s accusation of catalanophobia, with spokesperson Pablo Fernández calling it an “absolute nonsense” and recalling the party’s stance against Article 155 and its visits to jailed Catalan leaders.
• Pablo Iglesias escalated the response by telling Junts to “go a little to hell” on air, accusing the party of competing with Aliança Catalana and advancing openly racist positions.
• Podemos said it has no pact with the PSOE on the transfer and framed the initiative as an electoral move to help Junts in the pro‑independence space against Aliança Catalana.
• The Junts–PSOE proposal, as reported, would give the Generalitat control of immigrant detention centers and deportations, co‑manage port and airport security with state forces, create a one‑stop shop for residence permits, add 1,800 Mossos officers, and set foreign‑worker contingents.
• The vote set for Tuesday is uncertain, with PP, Vox, UPN and Podemos opposed equaling half the chamber, and Iglesias warned that Podemos’ cooperation with the PSOE depends on keeping the right in minority, signaling risks for government stability.
