Puigdemont Accuses Sánchez of Withholding 'Levers of Power' After Junts Ends Pact

Junts rules out calling early elections or backing a no-confidence motion for now.

Overview

  • Carles Puigdemont charged that Pedro Sánchez failed to use institutional power to honor commitments to Junts, escalating his critique after the split.
  • Puigdemont denounced what he called a socialist propaganda machine and echoed Xavier Trias’s “que os den” line as a rebuke to the PSOE.
  • PSOE maintains it fulfilled its pledge through passage of the amnesty law, while Junts argues it has not been applied to leaders of the procés, including Puigdemont.
  • ERC’s Gabriel Rufián posted a list of 23 pending laws and accused Junts of preparing to vote them down with the PP and Vox.
  • Some Junts mayors, including Jordi Masquef and Rafa Navarro, criticized the rupture and urged a more pragmatic strategy from within institutions after an internal vote showed 87% backing for the break.
