Decision taken at the Junts executive: expulsion of deputy Cristina Casol, related to Laura Borràs
After he denounced the parliamentary group – unsuccessfully – for harassment, the appointment of the party leadership – scheduled for days and as a result of a permanent meeting where the case was already addressed – has not exactly been calm . Sources consulted by Nació confirm the moments of tension hidden in recent weeks.
An inevitable conflict between the sectors of the party
Cristina Casol is part of the Borràs circle and several Junts deputies had asked for her resignation in the minutes. Despite this, Casol has decided to remain in his position, generating an inevitable conflict between the different sectors of the party.
Cristina Casol’s personal decision
The leader from Lleida has made it clear that she has no intention of leaving the seat, as she considers it a personal position. If she is expelled, she could become a non-affiliated deputy.
A persistent internal conflict
This situation is added to a previously unsolved case, that of Aurora Madaula, also related to Borràs, who has also denounced the group for harassment. So far, no final decision has been made on this case.
The way here
Cristina Casol reported a suspected case of harassment a few months ago, although the Parliament did not give her the reason. This generated unrest within the parliamentary group, and has now reached the point of expelling her, causing a rift between the secretary general and Laura Borràs.
Discontent with Jordi Turull
Within the high positions coming from the tradition of the old Convergència there was some disappointment with Jordi Turull. It was believed that he should break relations with the party president, but he prioritized internal unity. This has created a gap between Turull and the followers of Borràs.
