ERC has the blessed candidacies after the national council that it held yesterday afternoon. Together, practically. The management has already made them, but it will be their national council that ratifies them on Sunday. From then on the electoral race will begin.
The two main pro-independence formations announced the numbers of their lists yesterday. On behalf of ERC, Gabriel Rufián, Teresa Jordà, Francesc-Marc Álvaro - for the Congress - and Joan Queralt - for the Senate - have grabbed the media's attention. Yesterday, the Republicans completed them. The president of the Association of Municipalities for Independence (AMI), Jordi Gaseni, and the philosopher Josep Maria Terricabras for the Senate, in the constituency of Girona, stand out. Terricabras has been MEP from 2014 to 2019.
The national council also served to ratify the candidacies for Congress. Pilar Vallugera, Joan Capdevila and Maria Dantas will be the numbers four, five and six of the candidacy of the Republicans of Barcelona.
Montse Bassa is the head of Girona's list in the Congress, accompanied by Joan Margall from number two; for Tarragona, Jordi Salvador, with Norma Pujol, and Inés Granollers, for Lleida together with Alidé Sans.
With respect to JxCat, Míriam Nogueras, Pilar Calvo and Eduard Pujol will be the top three on the list at the Congress. In addition, there will be deputy Josep Pagès and the director of the office in the European Parliament of former president Carles Puigdemont, Aleix Sarri. In Lleida, Girona and Tarragona they will form Isidre Gavín, Josep Maria Cruset and Marta Madrenas. Antoni Castellà, who recently took the act of deputy in the Parliament in place of Laura Borràs, will appear for the Senate.
