Cross-fire among the three candidates to take over from Marta Rovira as general secretaries of ERC. The party is approaching the National Congress and, therefore, this Sunday a first debate was held where the discrepancies were seen on whether Oriol Junqueras should continue as president or a major renovation is needed. The candidate for general secretary of the Junkerist list ¡Militància Decidim¡, Elisenda Alamanyhas defended the need for “strong leadership” to recover from the party’s poor results and to “raise the country.”
On the other hand, the list of the rovirista sector, Nova Esquerra Nacional, has criticized the personalism of Junqueras’ proposal. Your candidate for general secretary, Alba Campshas defended betting on a “more honest and empathetic” policy to change the direction of the party. The third in contention, former councilor Alfred Bosch, from ‘Foc Nou’, has fired at his two rivals for being “continuist” and be at the service of the PSOE. Besides, has asked to redirect the strategy “towards independence for Catalonia in 2030.”
The ERC ‘B’ structure
The posters against the Maragall brothers, the Junqueras doll hanging on a bridge and the mariachis at the Calabria headquarters have shown signs of unity between the three lists: “this cannot happen again.” Despite agreeing that these actions They were not good for the gamethe most critical of this has been Alamany. The councilor at Barcelona City Council has assured that the first action her executive would take if she were victorious would be to “create a Truth Commission.” With this measure, wait “be able to close the folder in structure B as quickly as possible” after analyzing what happened in three months.
Bosch, for its part, has pointed out that it is time to go one step further and do “an external audit” to know what happened “with the militancy quotas” and demand responsibilities. From the candidacy of ‘Nova Esquerra Nacional’, they pointed out that creating a Truth Commission is “unfortunate” and that they are not seeking to “single the finger on anyone.” Of course, he asked Alamany what Where was your candidate to preside over ERC when all these cases happened?to which Bosch has joined in and asked the militancy: “Junqueras He is the best candidate to preside over the party if he did not find out about these negative incidents.?
Republican Left and militancy
During the debate of the three candidates that obtained the endorsement, another of the central themes has been “the reconnection with militancy.” While Alba Camps has called for people to influence the management and do more political activism, Alamany has proposed create a “parliament” for members and a Trustee to “resolve issues regarding the operation of ERC.” Since ‘Foc Nou’, Bosch has asked to “recover fresh air and return to being an assembly party” after, according to him, years of “disputes and tribal hatred.”
The pact with the PSC
53.5% of Republican militancy In August he endorsed the pre-agreement with the PSC to invest Illa. The former minister, who is part of the list most critical of this ‘pact’, has assured that “it is unthinkable that the socialists comply with the agreements.” “Does anyone believe that there will be an economic concert or Catalan selections?” he joked. Camps has stressed that they will be “relentless” with compliance with the document and has stated that “no one enjoyed watching Illa’s investiture.” The ‘Nova Esquerra Nacional’ candidate, who voted against, has asked for respect for those who did. Finally, Alamany has said that with Junqueras off the board, ERC would continue to be “the crutches” of the PSC and Junts.
