The calm after the political storm
In times of political turmoil, time often reveals the underlying truth. The recent appearance of Carles Puigdemont in Barcelona caused a wave of reactions among his followers, who anticipated a radical change in the Catalan and Spanish political scene. However, with the passing of the days, it has been shown that neither Salvador Illa nor Pedro Sánchez have been affected in their positions, and the judges seem to maintain their usual calm in the face of external pressures.
The invisibility of Salvador Illa
The reaction of the Catalan government has been surprisingly discreet. At a time when one could expect a strong response from Salvador Illa, he has opted for a low profile, almost invisible. His absence from significant events, such as the tribute to the victims of 17-A, has raised questions about his political strategy and leadership capacity.
The dilemma of Together for Catalonia
Despite Puigdemont’s resurgence, his political influence appears to be in decline. Together for Catalonia is facing a crucial moment: the need to rethink its future without the figure of its former leader. In American politics, transitions of power often come with conflict, but also with opportunity. The party must decide whether to continue with a veneration strategy or whether it is time to look for a new leader who can revitalize independence.
Reflections on the future
Catalan citizens demand a change, and not only in the Republican Left. Together it must consider an internal renewal that reflects the current needs and aspirations of its electorate. With the latest election results as a backdrop, it is clear that a simple name change will not be enough to restore lost trust. The moment is propitious for a real transformation, which involves a new approach and a more ambitious vision for the future of the party and Catalonia.
