Oriol Junqueras’ display of strength in the race to lead ERC again. 31% of the 8,300 ERC members have endorsed the candidacy of the former president of the party and candidate for reelection, has advanced Digita was bornly has been able to confirm elDiario.es.
The ERC congress will be held on November 30 and three candidates will compete, which will predictably obtain the necessary endorsements (412, 5% of the total number of militants). This is Militància Decidim, headed by Junqueras; Nova Esquerra Nacional, which brings together those close to Marta Rovira opposed to their former leader; and Foc Nou, the third candidate, more detached from the old ERC management team and which aspires to gain a foothold in the fight thanks to its open refusal to agree to agreements with the PSC.
In the event that none of the three obtains more than 50% of the votes on November 30, the lists will be able to reach understandings for the second round, which will take place on December 14. The movements in this sense have already begun: Xavier Godàs, who leads the Nova Esquerra Nacional list, has shown himself in favor of reaching agreements with Foc Nou, led by Helena Solà, to prevent Junqueras from regaining control of ERC .
