An entity in crisis: the struggle for the control of the ANC
The current panorama of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) is presented as a conflict land. In the first year of Lluís Llach at the helm, the entity has seen internal tensions increased, making it difficult to unity between the independentists. Recently, an escalation of internal polarization has been described, which shows the fractures of the sovereignist process.
Strategic divergences: civic or electoral?
Central debate within the ANC revolves around its future: should it be maintained as a civic movement that drives political parties or has to be transformed into an election candidacy? This controversy has created a climate of tension that has been recently exacerbated by the presentation of proposals and changes in the statutes of the organization.
Decisive Moments: the meeting on April 13
The situation reached a high point during the meeting of the National Secretariat on April 13, where Llach’s controversial audios have been revealed. In these recordings, the president of the ANC expressed his frustration with his opponents, pointing to a deliberate maneuver to destabilize his presidency.
Accusations and complaints: Llach’s message
In a forceful speech, Llach described his situation as “the most blocked in the history of the ANC”, saying that there is a deliberate attempt to impose a civic list that he categorically rejects. His words have echoed in the organization, where his legitimacy is questioned by the lack of majority support.
A critique of the direction
In his interventions, Llach has not sparked harsh criticism of the critical sector, accusing them of having hidden interests and preparing the ground for future elections. Its insistence on the preservation of the ANC as a civic entity has generated an intense debate on its role and its influence within the independence world.
The duell between Llach and Costa: a key clash
The conflict has intensified with the direct confrontation between Llach and Josep Costa, the former Vice President of the Parliament. Costa has criticized Llach’s management, proposing his ability to lead a project with “irreconcilable enemies” within the entity. This opposition has been received with a firm response from Llach, who described a costly opponent, but with a lack of constructive ideas.
The ideological differences
The debate between Llach and Costa reflects the lines of fracture within the ANC, where Llach aligns with a more traditionalist view of the process, while Costa seeks a more dynamic approach and adapted to the current circumstances. Mutual accusations on the influence of Together and their electoral strategy have further complicated the situation.
An uncertain future: Reflections on the way to go
With current tensions, the ANC is in a crucial moment. The internal division not only threatens its cohesion, but it can also affect the future of the independence movement in Catalonia. Llach, determined to maintain the entity free of electoral influences, is in a delicate position, while critics, with more and more visible support, seek to reform the ANC to adapt it to the new times.
