Lluïsa Moret of the PSC is open to pacts after the elections
The deputy first secretary of the PSC and number 2 of the party, Lluïsa Moret, has affirmed that the socialists are open to considering all the possibilities of pacts after the 12-M elections. In an interview with RTVE, Moret emphasized that the PSC is not sectarian and only rules out the ultra-right, referring to Vox and Aliança Catalana. He emphasized that the PSC is not closed and does not make sanitary cordons, but he made it clear that his option always prioritizes progressive forces. Regarding the unique funding proposal that the Government will present today, Moret has expressed the PSC’s wish that it be as much as possible, but always from a principle of solidarity.
The PSC highlights progressive forces and agreements that put the country forward
Moret has claimed that the PSC has shown the town councils and the Provincial Councils that it is open to pacts and agreements that prioritize what unites and the interests of the country. He has stated that his party has diverse governments and is always willing to seek agreements with progressive forces with which they agree ideologically. In this sense, he has made it clear that the PP is not key for the PSC.
Results of the polls on the elections in Catalonia
According to the latest poll published by El Periódico, the PSC would win the Catalan elections with between 35 and 38 seats and 23.8% of the vote. At present, the Socialists have 33 deputies. ERC and Junts would compete for second place with a tie at 29-32 deputies. Together they would get 18.5% of the votes and ERC 18%. With respect to the previous elections, ERC would lose between 1 and 4 seats and Junts would lose between 3 and none. The PP would get 12-14 deputies, a big increase compared to the current 3 deputies.
The PSC respects Puigdemont’s decision
Moret has defended that if the PSC wins the elections, they will have the right and will do everything possible to govern. He has expressed his absolute respect for Carles Puigdemont’s decision to be a candidate. He recalled that Puigdemont has already been a candidate in the past and nothing happened. The countdown to the 12-M elections has begun with the publication of the convening decree in the Official Journal of the Generalitat of Catalonia. Now begins the electoral process, the constitution of the Parliament and the election of the president of the Generalitat.
