A new horizon for Catalan politics
The PSC celebrates a moment of optimism with the start of the government led by Salvador Illa. However, the imminent election of the new ERC leadership promises to transform the political landscape, marking a decisive moment in this legislature.
The PSC seeks to expand its influence
With the recent consolidation of special funding for Catalonia, the PSC does not rule out integrating ERC into the government of the Generalitat, as well as into the Barcelona city council. This integration could mean a significant step towards more solid governance.
A legislature marked by fragility
The first months of the government have been characterized by moderate activity and two government forces that, although weak, have demonstrated reliability. The Socialists consider that the budgets are key to stabilizing the political future of Catalonia.
Expectations for December 14th
December 14th is shaping up to be a crucial date, as ERC members will have to decide between two options: Oriol Junqueras or Marta Rovira’s candidate. This decision could influence the continuity of the pacts between the PSC and ERC.
Oriol Junqueras: A potential ally
The possibility of Junqueras emerging victorious is seen as an opportunity for the PSC, as the Republican leader is considered more willing to work in synergy with the Socialists. Although he has expressed his intention not to enter the government immediately, circumstances could change.
A future of negotiations and consensus
After the December 14 elections, the PSC plans to start talks with ERC for the 2025 budget, an action considered essential to ensure governability. Consensus will be essential in an increasingly fragmented parliament.
The key to governance
ERC’s entry into the government is presented as an option, but the PSC’s priority is to establish a solid agreement for the budget. In a complex political context, both the government and the opposition seem convinced that the legislature can remain stable if they work in collaboration.
Final reflection
With a constantly evolving political landscape, Catalonia finds itself at a crucial moment that will determine the course of the coming years. The PSC’s ability to negotiate and establish alliances will be fundamental to facing the challenges ahead.
