The former president of the Generalitat and current leader of Junts, Carles Puigdemont, has lashed out at the president of the Generalitat, Salvador Illa, whom he accuses of keeping silent and hiding in the face of police action prior to the League match between Elche and Barça. In a message disseminated on the social network 'X', Puigdemont addressed the head of the Govern directly with these words: "Why are you silent, Salvador Illa? Where are you hiding, 'Govern de tothom'?".
The independentist leader has reacted this way to the police intervention carried out in the vicinity of the Martínez Valero stadium, in Elche, where a Barça supporter carrying an estelada was arrested. In the same message, Puigdemont concluded his criticism by stating: "Your indifference to the criminal abuses of the Spanish police makes you unworthy".
