Overview
- Daniel Sirera, the PP leader in Barcelona, predicted Junts will disappear after tying its fate to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
- Sirera cited Junts’ support for Sánchez’s investiture and its later refusal to back a no-confidence motion as a mistaken strategy.
- Albert Dalmau, Catalonia’s presidency chief, called on Junts to negotiate with the PSC out of patriotism to help the region advance instead of blocking initiatives.
- Dalmau criticized Junts for staying outside the Pacte Nacional per la Llengua, calling it a grave error that breaks with CiU’s pact-making tradition.
- Referencing polling that places Aliança Catalana close to overtaking Junts among radical pro-independence voters, Dalmau argued the way to curb the far right is to make the system work through agreements.
