Overview
- Verge announced she will resign her ERC seat at the end of January after serving in opposition during the current legislature.
- She said she always viewed her political stint as a temporary round trip and will return to teaching politics and gender at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
- Her push for a trans law ended with its provisions folded into the new LGTBI law approved in late December, while she says the PSC-led government has shelved the anti-racism proposal.
- Alba Camps, next on ERC’s Barcelona list and aligned with Nova Esquerra Nacional, is expected to assume the vacated seat.
- In November, a Barcelona court referred the 2017 referendum sindicatura case involving Verge to the Catalan High Court, where it remains pending.
