Internal transformations in Junts
The recent reorganization of Junts has generated an intense debate about the future of the party. Instead of incorporating new voices, the strategy has focused on keeping key figures such as Carles Puigdemont, leaving aside other prominent members, among them Laura Borràs.
The controversial role of Laura Borràs
Borràs has been a divisive figure within Junts, defending a more radical line that has caused significant internal tensions. With her recent expulsion from the party, she is expected to take on a new role as president of the Junts foundation, as long as her legal issues permit.
The dismissal of Jordi Muñoz: a symptom of the malaise
Jordi Muñoz, an ex-militant who has been a strong defender of Borràs on social networks, has decided to leave Junts. His decision illustrates the discontent that is brewing within a sector of the party and the nationalist electorate.
Reasons for your decision
Muñoz has publicly stated four reasons that justify his resignation, which reflect a sentiment shared by some Junts members.
Reasons for abandonment
1. Loss of foundational essence
According to Muñoz, the party has deviated from its initial path, leaving behind the goal of being a transversal pro-independence group, largely due to the maneuvering of the post-converged sectors.
2. Contempt towards Borràs
Muñoz considers that the fact of having removed Borràs is a monumental mistake that will negatively affect the party in the long term.
3. Degradation of Puigdemont
The decline in Puigdemont’s political support is attributed by Muñoz to the adoption of a pragmatic approach, which has diluted his impact within the political landscape.
4. Similarities with ERC
Muñoz points out that Junts has begun to emulate the strategies of ERC, including pacts with forces that have traditionally been viewed with distrust, a trend that he considers harmful.
Reflections on the future of Junts
The abandonment of figures like Muñoz could be a warning sign for Junts, which will have to face its internal contradictions and reconsider its strategy if it wants to maintain its base of support and avoid further fragmentation.
