A drastic change in the political scenario of Barcelona
The political dynamics of Barcelona has undergone a significant change, with the commons from being allies of the PSC to adopting a marked opposition stance. This transformation has been caused by an increasingly worrying election landscape, with the municipal elections of 2027 on the horizon.
The unexpected pact and consequences
After the June 2023 election, Ada Colau facilitated the victory of Jaume Collboni, removing the mayor’s office to Xavier Trias. Despite this, the commons have found it difficult to regain their influence in the city. His career has since been marked by the loss of credibility and a fall in the polls, who are increasingly concerning his direction.
Internal conflicts and the search for a new strategy
The internal crisis within the commons, fueled by the competition between the Colauists and the members of ICV, has pushed the group to rethink their strategy. With a new direction, led by Janet Sanz, the commons seek to deal with a PSC who perceive as a growing adversary.
Alliance with Together: a risky play
The decision to approach Together has been one of the last movements of the commons, who are waiting to wear the Collboni government. This alliance, viewed as a strategic need, opens a new phase of tensions within the organization, which can lead to a greater division.
The return of Ada Colau: a controversial figure
With the election nearby, the reappearance of Ada Colau at the head of the Foundation of the Commons marks an attempt to regain its political influence. His return has been received with ambivalent feelings, with a leadership that some consider failed, especially in the face of the new internal dynamics.
The struggle for housing as a flag
The commons try to consolidate their support through mobilization in housing issues, an area that they consider key to their reactivation. However, the effectiveness of this strategy will be tested in an increasingly competitive context.
Final reflections on the political future of the commons
The political scenario in Barcelona is constantly evolving, and the ability of the commons to adapt to the new circumstances will determine their future. His transition from allies to opponents, as well as the uncertainty that surrounds his new strategy, ask questions about their sustainability in an increasingly hostile political climate.
