A scenario of ideological confrontation
Within the framework of an increasingly ideologically fragmented Catalonia, ERC and together have decided to leave the strategic unity behind to focus on the political competition between the left and right. This new phase is characterized by an intense debate on the values and priorities that define each party, with an approach to the defense of its own political territory.
The new faces of the battle
Faced with this new phase, ERC has named Ester Capella as a new spokesman, while together he has opted for Salvador Vergés. Both represent powerful voices within their respective parties, each with a distinguishing vision that reflects their ideological orientation.
Ester Chapel: An Institutional and Combative Strategy
The rise of Ester Capella is part of a time of transformation within ERC, after the re -election of Oriol Junqueras. Its designation as spokesman, replacing Marta Vilalta, represents a significant change in the party’s narrative. With a trajectory that includes relevant positions as Minister of Territory and Justice, Capella brings a firm and determined vision, in contrast to the most conciliatory tone of Josep María Jové.
The direction to the left
ERC has recently adopted a more markedly progressive approach, promoting initiatives that seek to sanction councils that do not properly manage the registration of homeless people. This change in strategy seeks to reaffirm his position in the face of competition with Together.
Salvador Vergés: The new face of the independence right
Salvador Vergés, who has quickly emerged as one of the most visible leadership of Together, combines his experience as an independentist activist with a more institutional approach. With a remarkable business background, Vergés provides a perspective that balances the confrontation with the state with the need to maintain relations with the private sector.
Activism and entrepreneurship
His intervention in key debates, such as the full on Rodalies, emphasized his decisive stance against Renfe company, thus manifesting a clear inclination for Catalan self -government. Its connection with the business world, including renowned investors, strengthens its strategy of making a party together not only seeking popular support, but also that of businessmen.
A growing competition
With these two figures at the helm, both ERC and together are positioning themselves to attract voters from different ideological spectra. This battle not only involves the consolidation of its own political space, but also a direct competition to capture the vote of the independence right, an increasingly disputed ground.
As this new political stage progresses, it will be interesting to observe how these dynamics will influence the future of Catalan independence and the relationships between the different political actors in the country.
