A Congress Marked by the Controversy
The recent ERC congress held in Martorell has shown the deep internal fissures affecting the party led by Oriol Junqueras. In an attempt to pretend to cohesion and strength, party leaders have emerged the values of independence and social defense, but the truth is that they have faced a tsunami of criticism, including voices from their own field.
Tensions between different factions
The meeting showed the divergences between party members, with notable absences such as those of Marta Rovira and Pere Aragonès. In addition, the so -called Truth Commission has generated a climate of discontent, reflecting the internal struggles that have been growing in recent times. The current leadership has sought to close the chapter of the B -scandal, but the reaction has been widespread.
Critic voices within the party
Xavier Godàs, representative of the Rovirist current, said that Congress has been an exercise in accusations without substance, more than a presentation of clear policies for the future of the party. Also the new fire has stated its disapproval, considering that the Commission of Truth does not bring anything new and only generates more division.
Reacts to the Declarations of Junqueras
Oriol Junqueras, in an attempt to strengthen his message, stated that ‘Catalonia needs us’. However, social media has been filled with critical voices that call him a traitor and liar, with comments that reflect the frustration of many of his former followers. Its closest ally, Elisenda Alamany, has also also not escaped criticism, with allegations that they hold the country’s current situation.
An uncertain future for ERC
Congressional images, which ERC shared in a publication on the networks with the slogan ‘Ambition, country, future’, have been received with an avalanche of negative comments that predict the imminent disappearance of the party. Many are interrupted about their future, with voices saying that the lack of repentance of their recent management and the absence of independence symbols reflect a crisis of identity.
A reflection on the course of Catalan politics
With such a fragmented political landscape, some analysts begin to question if ERC will be able to regain lost support. The idea that the party could disappear before the independence goal set for 2031 is spreading, leaving in the air what will happen with the independence aspirations in Catalonia.
