Junqueras to Seek ERC Nomination for 2028 Catalan Presidency at Barcelona Conference

His bid remains conditional on an amnesty lifting his disqualification from public office.

Overview

  • The ERC leader will use the 'Una nueva ambición nacional' address to lay out a roadmap for a new political cycle.
  • The event is scheduled for Tuesday at 19:00 in the Auditori’s Sala Oriol Martorell in Barcelona with about 600 attendees expected.
  • Invitations were extended to most parliamentary parties except PP, Vox and Aliança Catalana, along with unions, business groups and civic organizations.
  • ERC aims to relaunch itself as a governing alternative focused on economic policy, housing and infrastructure management.
  • The speech doubles as a barometer of ties with the PSC as negotiations over a new Catalan financing model remain delayed.
