Exiled Minister Toni Comín: "exile was the politically coherent option with the declaration of independence and the referendum"

The minister of Health of the government of Carles Puigdemont, Toni Comín, claims the decision to go to exile. Comín, from Catalonia's Republican Left (ERC) ensures that ERC has been "too focused" in "the hegemony strategy". To search the hegemony destroys the will of unity and ends in an impossible uniformity. A mistake. Even so, Comín denies "no distancing" with the Republicans and defends that he has always acted with "maximum loyalty" to the party. It further states that, despite "strategic differences", the party has always debated with it openly: "At least with whom I relate to ERC I keep looking at it as before"

Toni Comín claims that "the politically responsible decision is called exile. "If we wanted to keep alive, what we had begun on October 1 could only be done from exile, because from prison it is impossible."Do not make the 1-O statement or if you do not have to continue."

ERC's politician believes that "admiring the resistance and courage" of the pro-independence pro-independence leaders, as well as his personal decision not to leave, is not "incompatible" with the fact that "the politically coherent option" was "exile".Comín accuses the Spanish authorities of trying to treat the prisoners as "hostages. "We can not try to blackmail with the third degree."

The elected MEP of Together criticizes that ERC has been "too focused on the strategy of hegemony", because he believes that he must park when "there is a need" in the "hard confrontation with Spain."
