The Catalan political scene
The former president of the Generalitat Artur Mas raised the possibility of an electoral repetition, pointing out that this option is the most viable in the current context. According to Mas, there is no scenario of understanding between the Catalan political parties, which makes an electoral repetition a real possibility, although not necessarily desired.
The president of the Catalan Parliament, Josep Rull, noted the lack of a candidate for immediate investiture, calling a plenary session for next Wednesday 26 as a step towards a possible investiture. This situation will activate a countdown in the Catalan political process.
The vision of El País
The newspaper El País describes the Catalan political situation as a ‘hieroglyph’ that must be resolved during the summer to avoid new elections in Catalonia. It highlights the ongoing judicial movements, such as the opening of a separate piece of the Volhov case for the crime of treason and embezzlement of public funds, which involves several pro-independence leaders.
El País also addresses the internal crisis in ERC, pointing out that the outcome is in the hands of this party, which is experiencing its own catharsis as a result of a manifesto signed by senior officials and militants of ERC, in which they ask for the renewal of their leadership. .
The situation of Carles Puigdemont
The president in exile, Carles Puigdemont, is the protagonist on the cover of El ABC, which claims to have had access to documents that reveal an alleged ‘secret plan’ by the leader of Junts per Catalunya. According to the newspaper, this plan aimed to weaken ERC to position Junts as the main voice of secessionism. Furthermore, the alleged complicity of the CUP in this plan is mentioned.
The approach of La Razón
La Razón focuses on the problems of the president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, highlighting that these problems are multiplying and there is no immediate improvement in sight. However, the newspaper shows greater concern about the tension between the PP and Vox, headlined about the pressure of possible general elections that agitates the relationship between both parties.
The uncertainty regarding the maintenance of Vox’s voting percentage and its impact on Sánchez’s continuity in Moncloa is another point of interest for La Razón.
