Some of the militants of JuntsxCatalunya who are in favor of leaving the Govern de Pere Aragonès and who have campaigned actively so that the consultation, which began this midnight and ends tomorrow, produces a result in accordance with their postulates, have shown themselves open to joining the joint list that plans to promote the Catalan National Assembly for the next Parliamentary elections and even one of them, Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas, a deputy close to President Laura Borràs, does not rule out a split in the party if he wins the option of remaining in the Executive.
In an interview with RAC1, Cuevillas assured that "the risk of a split cannot be ruled out" if the consultation, which will end tomorrow at 5:00 p.m., finally leads the party to remain in the Government, and that, regarding its continuity in the project, he added that "he will be attentive to what Puigdemont does". “I think that if it now came out that we are still in the Government, we will have the crisis in two or three months,” argued the lawyer, who also sees it as “likely” that President Aragonès would have “a tantrum and kick us out.”
But previously, in another interview on La 2, the man who was once Puigdemont's lawyer also opened the door to join the civic list that the ANC intends to promote, independent of parties, "to defend the will of the pro-independence voters (. ..) and materialize independence", in the words of the entity. And he is not alone in that position. Joan Canadell also left this option open yesterday in an interview with the newspaper Ara.
For Cuevillas, the party "must decide if it is more like the Scottish National Party or the PDeCAT 2.0" to defend the idea that Junts must be "a national liberation movement" that welcomes all the independentistas, "including the people who traditionally vote for ERC". In this sense, the Junts deputy believes that the pro-independence strategy must go through a confrontation and democratic mobilization, because, in his opinion, "we are facing a very powerful State, which has shown it to us."
The post-convergence lawyer has appealed to leave the Government for "dignity" and has accused the Esquerra of "disloyalty" for not fulfilling the Government pact and has gone further by recalling the non-investigation of Carles Puigdemont, the suspension of Laura Borràs as president of Parliament or the expulsion of vice president Jordi Puigneró and that accelerated the crisis between both partners.
Alonso-Cuevillas has blamed the situation on the Esquerra leadership as "the problem" and has predicted "a harsh scenario" if Junts leaves the Government and must agree on everything with the PSC or the Commons.
Cuevillas' position has been replicated at the moment by the former secretary general of the formation Jordi Sànchez, the main architect of the Govern agreement, also from the RAC1 study. "I will continue to believe in this project no matter what the militancy decides", replied Sànchez, who objected to his party colleague that "if we really believe that there is room for different sensitivities, we must accept that there are times when you have the majority and times when you don't .”
He has also argued that leaving the government "does not bring us closer to independence" but on the contrary, "in fact, it moves us away", he warned. Finally, the also former president of the ANC has considered that she does not imagine that the JxCat space should be "the new CUP, which assumes the role of making an anti-everything policy". I don't know if this responds to our political DNA", added Sànchez, who has warned about the risk of staying "in no man's land."
