Joan Puntí’s resignation: a symptom of ERC’s internal crisis
Joan Puntí, councilor of Rubí, has made the decision to leave the Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), an action that highlights the growing tensions within the party. Through his social networks, Puntí has expressed his disappointment with the national political strategy and has announced that he will resign as councilor at the next plenary session.
Criticisms of the dome: Puntí’s perspective
The councilor pointed out that ERC has become a support for the PSC, criticizing the investiture of Salvador Illa, who, according to Puntí, has been linked to the far right. He also expressed that the re-election of Oriol Junqueras does not bring enthusiasm, and highlighted the lack of strategy and commitment at the local level.
A more ambitious project
Puntí calls for a political project that transcends personal ambitions and truly responds to the needs of citizens. His criticism is accentuated by the accusation that the PSC has failed to comply with the budgetary agreements signed with ERC for 2024.
Reactions and reflections on the future
The reaction to his decision has been mostly positive, with many congratulating him for his courage at a time of political change. This resignation not only reflects the discontent of one individual, but also highlights the different voices within ERC who feel alienated from the current leadership.
An uncertain future for ERC
With a congressional debate on the party’s strategy on the horizon, internal tensions could escalate. Joan Tardà has promoted a new trend that seeks to revitalize the party with a more left-wing stance, regardless of the national question. These dynamics promise to be decisive for the future of ERC.
A necessary change of direction?
With Puntí’s decision, ERC finds itself at a crucial moment that could mark a before and after in its history. Internal discrepancies and the debate over its political identity are issues that need to be addressed in order to guarantee the party’s cohesion and relevance in the Catalan political landscape.
