Independenceism believes that the data will be bad for Catalonia if the PP manages to reach the central government, either with Vox or without the ultra-right within the four walls of the Moncloa palace. Faced with this scenario, ERC and Junts, in addition to the CUP, are looking to reorient their strategy on the national axis. Yesterday, at the government control session in Parliament, Pere Aragonès insisted on the idea of agreeing on some points between the three parties to deal with a hypothetical executive led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo and demanded to agree on a "common programmatic minimum" for in Congress There is one week left in the general election campaign. And Junts didn't put his back against the wall.
The president and head of ranks of JxCat in the Catalan chamber, Albert Batet, were tempted, so much so that they avoided throwing reproaches at each other, and were called to seal a strategic unit that for now resists crystallizing. Nevertheless, the two actors believe that a minimal agreement could undermine the abstentionism or null vote promoted by, for example, the ANC.
The ERC-Juns match was anticipated hours earlier by the head of the Junts al Congrés list, Míriam, in an interview with RTVE. He urged the different parties to self-criticize and emphasized that after the municipal elections "something has begun to be woven" between the pro-independence parties.
Batet shared the idea of Aragonès that in the elections of July 23 independence "will be played a lot", which is why he bet to forge a "unity that becomes reality". "Nothing can be achieved by going it alone", said the post-convergent before celebrating the "rectification" of the head of government when demanding a "joint position in Madrid". Batet recalled that precisely the lack of consensus on this point was one of the reasons why his group left the Catalan Executive in October. Together, we need to "rebuild independence unity".
"On July 23 we play a lot of things, but also on the 24th, 25th, 26th and the rest of the days", answered Aragonès. "My Government will in no case resign from its responsibilities in defending the interests of the country, the language, the culture, the school model, the economic model, the fight against climate change or in favor of the right of self-determination ”, he emphasized before affirming that ERC would feel comfortable agreeing with Junts on a shared program.
The CUP asks for more. He wants a referendum to be at the center of the pro-independence agenda. He believes that only proposals like this can combat the abstentionism that so affected the sovereignist formations in the municipal elections.
