During the weeks following municipal elections, ERC and its president, Oriol Junqueras, repeatedly asked Junts not to participate in any agreement for the presidency of the Barcelona Provincial Council, as it had done in 2019.
Turull’s party finally opted to seek an “alternative majority” which was never found, and Lluïsa Moret was invested in the middle of the election campaign as the new Barcelonas Provincial Council’s president, with the support of the commons and Tot per Terrassa, as well as two provincial MPs from Junts. Less than two weeks after her investiture, and two days after the general election, ERC announced it was joining the government presided over by the socialists. This decision has not gone down well with part of their members, who posted messages of discontent on social networks.
