Carles Puigdemont suspends his electoral agenda
The Junts candidate for the Catalan elections, Carles Puigdemont, has decided to suspend his campaign agenda due to the death of his mother in Girona. In a message published on the social network
His mother’s legacy
Puigdemont regretted the premature departure of his mother and stressed that, despite her physical absence, his daughter has been his right hand. The former president of the Generalitat, who lived in Brussels from 2017 until a few weeks ago, when he moved near Perpignan, stated that in some way he was also present during the time that his mother fought against the disease.
Changes in the electoral agenda
The suspension of Puigdemont’s electoral agenda has generated modifications in the campaign calendar of other Catalan parties. Furthermore, the appearance announced by Pedro Sánchez for this Monday, in which he is expected to reveal his future, has also altered the Catalan electoral agenda. Several parties have had to adjust their actions due to the president’s reflection period, which has monopolized the beginning of the campaign.
Replacement of Puigdemont at a rally
At the rally scheduled for this afternoon in Argelès-sur-Mer, Carles Puigdemont will be replaced by the party’s general secretary, Jordi Turull.
Modifications in other electoral acts
The appearance of Pedro Sánchez has led to changes in the agenda of other candidates. Pere Aragonès, president and candidate of ERC, has suspended a press conference scheduled for the morning. Salvador Illa, of the PSC, has modified the schedule of an interview. The Comuns Sumar have changed an event scheduled for noon for an appearance at their headquarters.
