Overview

• Jaume Giró announced he is stepping down from Junts’ executive and will resign his seat in the Parlament, while keeping his party membership for now, according to El País.
• Giró cited irreconcilable differences with the party’s current orientation, writing that it does not align with the politics he believes the country needs.
• His move follows a Junts leadership meeting in Waterloo and days after the first in‑person meeting between Carles Puigdemont and PSC leader Salvador Illa, during a broader internal debate on strategy.
• Junts leaders Carles Puigdemont and Jordi Turull said they “lament and respect” the decision, and Parliament president Josep Rull disagreed with Giró’s critique, arguing the party actively pursues agreements where possible.
• Analysts describe the exit as a setback for Junts’ pragmatic and technocratic profile, noting Giró’s weight as a former economy chief who delivered budgets on time and as an ex‑executive at La Caixa, Naturgy and Repsol.
