The general secretary of ERC, Marta Vilalta, expresses her opinion on the party’s internal debate
The general secretary of ERC, Marta Vilalta, has given her opinion on the debate that has been going on in ERC in recent days after the appearance of a manifesto, which has already been signed by more than 800 ERC officials, which asks a general renewal of the party. Vilalta has highlighted the importance of a renovation that is carried out from generosity and collective leadership, with the aim of building a new stage with new leaderships (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text- Catalan/).
Vilalta’s view on the debate and leadership at ERC
In a recent interview, Marta Vilalta stated that it is unfair to reduce the debate to a question of Junqueras yes or Junqueras no. According to Vilalta, the manifesto he has signed does not seek to get rid of anyone’s political capital, but seeks a change of leadership in the Republican leadership. Vilalta has defended the importance of rethinking the party’s strategy and updating it, as well as rebuilding the party to better connect with the grassroots and citizens (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/) .
ERC’s position on the investiture agreement with the PSOE
Marta Vilalta has responded to Pedro Sánchez, president of the Spanish government, stating that any investment agreement must pivot on financing. Vilalta has emphasized the importance of facts and firm steps in this agreement, and has defended that ERC will not settle for declarations of intent. Vilalta has made it clear that they will only accept a good agreement that goes beyond the tax consortium and that involves a change in the rules of the game (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/).
ERC’s stance on possible pacts and elections
Marta Vilalta has stated that the parties that talk about new elections are irresponsible, and has ruled out the possibility of a single list with Junts in the event of a repeat election. Vilalta has defended the importance of talking about proposals and agreements, and has left open the possibility of an agreement between PSC and Junts. However, he has ruled out almost 100% that ERC will be part of the next Government (https://correccioencatala.cat/com-estructura-text-catala/).
