ERC will consult its bases on its position on the investiture of the next president of Catalonia

The general secretary of C.K.D, Marta Rovirawill be responsible for coordinating the Republicans’ negotiations on the appointment of the next president of the Generalitat, but it will be the combativeness that will ultimately validate the party’s position in a telematic consultation.

This was agreed by the ERC leadership on Friday, as explained by the party in a statement, after several days of internal unrest following the electoral collapse during last Sunday’s Catalan elections.

The ERC National Executive has agreed to Rovira “coordinating the negotiations on the constitution of the new parliament, as well as subsequent negotiations,” the statement said.

The constitution of the parliament must take place no later than June 10, so the talks between the parties to elect the seven members of the Catalan chamber’s board, including the presidency, must take place during the June 9 European election campaign.

Once the parliament is constituted, the new president of the Catalan Chamber must nominate a candidate for the inauguration, whose election will take place no later than June 25.

The twenty ERC delegates can be decisive for the inaugurationto which both the PSC candidate and winner of last Sunday’s elections, Salvador Illa, and the former president and JxCat candidate, Carles Puigdemont, are currently running.

On the other hand, the ERC management has agreed to “concentrate the focus and efforts of the entire formation on the European election campaign that starts next week in order to achieve the best possible result on June 9.”

The European campaign, which starts in a week, will be all about the internal earthquake who suffers from CKD.

Today, Friday, there is another step back in their ranks: Sergi SabriaDeputy Minister of Strategy and Communications of the Government and right-hand man of the acting Catalan President, Pere Aragoneshas announced that he will leave institutional politics as soon as the next Generalitat government takes office.

Sabrià’s farewell is in line with the farewell also announced by Aragonès provisional step back from the president of ERC, Oriol Junquerasand Marta Rovira’s decision not to stand for re-election as general secretary of the Republicans, all as a result of the electoral debacle in last Sunday’s elections, which saw the number go from 33 to 20 deputies.

For his part, the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchezruled out on Friday that the Socialists could support an inauguration of the Junts candidate Carles Puigdemont, whom he asked to “accept reality” as he assured that “they do not give him the numbers” to become president of the Generalitat of Catalonia .” “You have to accept the reality, there is no parliamentary majority that is in favor of independence,” he said in an interview in La Sexta.
