Junts' electoral campaign will focus on the needs of Catalonia. All the party's posters in the May 12 contest are along those lines and with the formula of "Catalonia needs..." they will combine different messages: "leadership, good government, being respected, living in Catalan and independence."
"These elections are about what Catalonia needs, that is why we present the campaign focused on the needs of the country," highlighted the campaign director and until now president of the JxCat parliamentary group, Albert Batet, when presenting the posters.
Likewise, the idea of the return of its candidate, former president Carles Puigdemont, will be evoked, who instead of appearing with a usual portrait appears in the electoral propaganda photographed in the car, in profile.
Beyond the messages, the iconography and the blue scenery that has already buried the turquoise green and those slogans, the formation will try to polarize the appointment between the PSC candidate, Salvador Illa, and its own, Puigdemont. This strategy has already been seen in recent days and will be maintained for the remainder of the campaign.
In that sense, Batet said today that "the only candidates who have a chance of being president are Puigdemont and Illa." "Catalans have to choose for the Government between leadership or following, self-esteem or resignation, ambition or conformism, nation or branchism," added the post-convergent leader.
Thus, JxCat proposes a Catalan executive "that negotiates face to face with all the force or a government that will negotiate from subordination and resignation to the interests of the PSOE and Pedro Sánchez", in the words of Batet, who has promised to "recover the national ambition and economic, cultural and social leadership". "Recover the respect that Catalonia deserves," Batet concluded.
Faced with reproaches from President Pere Aragonès, who questions the return of the former Catalan president, Junts has avoided responding and assures that its intention is to govern with Esquerra, which is why they assure that they will avoid quarrels with the Republicans.
