The Pressure of Carles Puigdemont
The Spanish capital is immersed in uncertainty and interest has focused on the new political movement of Carles Puigdemont, which has generated expectations and nerves in the government of Pedro Sánchez.
A Possible Turn of the Political Game
Carles Puigdemont has hinted at his intention to return and participate in the investiture debate, regardless of the results of March 12. This political movement can destabilize the government of Pedro Sánchez if a situation like the one that prevented Xavier Trias from being mayor of Barcelona is repeated.
Puigdemont’s Competitive Strategy
Puigdemont is fully focused on this election as, for him, it represents an all-or-nothing opportunity. With his extensive political experience, he is aware that he has nothing to lose and this gives him a significant competitive advantage.
Dominating the Political Story
Through the control of the political narrative and the ability to generate nerves among his rivals, Puigdemont has managed to centralize attention and create uncertainty in the government of Pedro Sánchez and the other candidates, Salvador Illa and Pere Aragonès.
Outstanding Presence in Political Information
Puigdemont’s great influence in the political landscape translates into a prominent presence in media coverage of the March 12 election, although this may also have negative consequences for his interests.
