On September 17, 2017, he was second on the list of university professors, after Fernando Savater, who signed the manifesto Parar el golpe. 500 professors in defense of constitutional democracy that was made public ten days after the pro-independence majority in the Parliament of Catalonia approved between September 6 and 7 the Law on the referendum of self-determination of Catalonia and the Law of Transitoriness, which broke with constitutional and statutory legality and were immediately suspended (and later annulled) by the Constitutional Court. The manifesto demanded the Government of Mariano Rajoy to prevent "the celebration of a false, illegitimate and illegal "referendum", bringing to justice those responsible for this outrage to democracy and making the full weight of the law fall on them".[5]
