The new course of Puigdemont
Since his election as President of Together, Carles Puigdemont has taken an unexpected path that has left many surprised observers. Instead of focusing on the concerns of the Catalan population, it seems that he has spent much of his time commented on controversial international figures.
A profile full of controversy
In recent weeks, Puigdemont has expressed his point of view on issues as varied as the negotiations between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. A recent tweet, where he played with the words ‘trick’ and ‘call’, unleashed a wave of reactions, including that of his fiercer detractors.
A revealing obsession
Analyzing his profile on social media, it is clear that his fixation with figures like Trump and Elon Musk is not an isolated event. Of the last two tens of publications, seven are dedicated to these characters, revealing a concern for the far right that transcends the borders of Catalonia.
Critics and reactions
Puigdemont recently took advantage of the controversy generated by the spokeswoman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, to assume an attack on what he calls ‘La Banda de la chainserra’. This tactic seems to be part of a broader attempt to position itself as a moral leader in the face of the growing influence of the far right in Europe.
Constant reproaches
Puigdemont’s comments have generated a constant feedback, with criticism accusing him of lacking and having a distorted view of the current political landscape. Its rhetoric has been the subject of multiple reproaches by those who believe that his obsession with Trump is more an attempt to divert attention to the internal problems of Catalonia.
The fear of competition
His obsession is not new; He has maintained an active speech against figures such as Javier Milei, Georgia Meloni and Marine Le Pen. This stance seems to be driven by a growing concern within his party in the face of voting escape to Catalan Alliance, led by Sílvia Orriols.
Calculated strategy
Puigdemont has designed a strategy that not only seeks to strengthen its image in Madrid, but also intends to bomb social networks with messages against the far right. However, it avoids direct mention to Orriols, preferring a more subtle criticism that can gradually penetrate the conscience of Catalans.
Final reflections
Carles Puigdemont’s recent career offers us a perspective on how political dynamics can influence a leader’s priorities. His obsession with the far right, although he can be seen as a defensive strategy, also raises questions about his ability to address the immediate needs of Catalan citizens in a time of change.
