Analysis of a Controversial Pact
Recently, Marta Rovira, the general secretary of Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC), has shared her thoughts on the agreement advanced with the Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSC) to facilitate the investiture of Salvador Illa. In a conversation with Catalunya Ràdio, he made a positive but complex assessment of the pact, underlining both the progress and the uncertainties that bring peace to militancy.
The Dilemma of Commitment
Rovira confessed that the negotiation with the Socialists has generated a range of contradictory feelings within his formation. The republican leader pointed out that, although the militancy recognizes the efforts made, there is some mistrust regarding the PSC’s ability to fulfill the commitments made.
Reflections on Social Expectations
“The pacts exist to be respected,” he said, noting that the success of this agreement depends on the strength that ERC can exert on the PSC. Rovira clarified that his formation is facing a crucial moment and he cannot afford to stop for fear of inaction.
The Voices of Militancy and Youth
Differences of opinion are also evident in the party’s young environment. Jovent Republicanà, one of its arms, has expressed its position against the agreement, showing doubts about its future viability.
Dialogue and Communication in the Party
Rovira, with a conciliatory approach, communicated his efforts to maintain an open dialogue with the youth of the party, responding to their concerns simultaneously. “We want to ensure that their voice is heard within the parliamentary group.”
Awareness of the Political Future
Looking ahead, the possible passage of the pact does not guarantee a free path. If the support of the militancy does not materialize, Rovira advocates for a powerful internal review, also preparing for the consequences of a possible rejection.
A Future Plan and Alternatives
Catalan financing is one of the hot topics in this agreement. Rovira is optimistic about the chances of the situation being resolved satisfactorily, although he recognizes the reluctance that may arise between the different formations. In case of not having support in this aspect, she assures that ERC has a plan B ready.
Carles Puigdemont and the Current Context
The president of ERC rejected any link between the return of Carles Puigdemont and his supposed opposition to the agreement. His position is clear: although he calls for a political return to Catalonia, the final decision of the exiled president must be defended and respected.
With the horizon of Catalan politics marked by uncertainty, Rovira and ERC are preparing for a new phase, with their eyes set not only on the immediate results, but also on the traceability of their role in the country’s politics.
