The Junts candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat has reminded the Socialists that Pedro Sánchez also did not win the general elections.
The Junts candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat, Carlos Puigdemont, has crossed out PSOE criticism ‘incoherent’ and ‘strange’ to his desire to try to form a government in Catalonia after the May 12 elections.
Puigdemont recalled that Artur Mas won the 2006 elections with 48 deputies, six more than the PSC obtained in these elections, and that he did not govern, pointing out that both Sánchez and Collboni govern in a minority in the government of Spain and in the Barcelona city council.
“Discussing the legitimacy that the same thing can now be done in Catalonia seems to me very incoherent and strange when it comes to giving qualifications. Everyone has the right to try to form a government if they think they can muster parliamentary support that will make it possible. Disqualify it from the beginning, especially by those who have always benefited from this game and believe that criticizing it is not an acknowledgment of the legitimacy of the resulting government, it is a mistake,” he said in a message published on the social network
Yesterday, Monday, Puigdemont announced that he plans to run for parliament as he is in a position to win a “bigger” majority than the PSC candidate Salvador Illa.
The PSC won the elections to the Parliament of Catalonia with 42 seats and the Junts were in second place with 35, while the ERC was relegated to third place with 20 seats in the Catalan Chamber, a parliament in which the independence movement has its absolute majority lost. .
