Overview
- Junts’ executive, led by Carles Puigdemont, unanimously ended the 2023 pact and declared the party will sit in opposition after a meeting in Perpignan.
- The leadership’s decision will be put to an online membership consultation from Oct. 29 to 30, with results due on Oct. 30.
- Without Junts’ seven deputies, the PSOE-led government would lose its working majority, making it harder to pass a budget or advance legislation.
- Junts cites unmet commitments, including a 2024 amnesty that the Supreme Court declined to apply to an embezzlement case affecting Puigdemont, and the failure to secure EU official status for Catalan.
- Puigdemont did not say whether Junts will support a no-confidence motion with right-wing parties, leaving the prospect of early elections unclear.
