The political scenario after the general election has also led to moves in the pro-independence movement. The Questions to the Catalan president, held this Wednesday in Parliament, made evident ERC’s and Junts’ willingness to address the opportunity the polls pose to them, despite the punishment they received.
Pere Aragonès repeatedly appealed for unity, but Junts also stressed that Sunday’s result gives them a position of strength and asked Aragonès if he is committed to a common pro-independence front in the Spanish Congress. Messages were also aimed at Madrid: Aragonès warned the PSOE it will need “a lot of bravery and political courage” if it wants to take advantage of the electoral results obtained on Sunday, but Junts also made clear they expect to listen to Pedro Sánchez’s proposals.
