Salvador Illa transfers his support to Pedro Sánchez after calling early elections

The president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, has conveyed his support to the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, after he announced the dissolution of the Cortes and the advancement of the general elections, which will be on November 29. "It is time to decide whether to continue moving forward or go back," said the Catalan leader, who assured that "Catalonia neither resigns nor gives up."

In this way, Illa, who was part of Sánchez's Executive as Minister of Health between 2020 and 2021, has stated on social networks that they will be by his side "now more than ever" and has valued the president's decision. "A Government that was born to move forward cannot be stopped because some prefer a blockade," he added.
