Overview

  • Creu Camacho, representing the Dignitat Republicana faction, narrowly won ERC Barcelona's leadership election by 14 votes over the officialist slate led by Eva Baró.
  • Camacho has pledged to consult ERC members before summer on whether to join the PSC-led municipal government, contingent on a prior meeting with the party's municipal group to assess the pact's status.
  • PSC sources maintain that the pre-agreement with ERC, reached nearly a year ago, is no longer in effect and that ERC's entry into the government is currently unfeasible.
  • The five-member ERC municipal group in Barcelona is divided, with three members supporting the defeated Endavant Barcelona slate and two backing Dignitat Republicana.
  • Camacho has also initiated preparations for the 2027 municipal elections, with a candidate-selection timeline to be finalized at ERC's June national council meeting.
