The new president of the ANC, Lluís Llach, urges Junts, ERC and the CUP to make every possible effort to reach an agreement
The new president of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), Lluís Llach, has expressed his opinion on the need for the pro-independence parties Junts per Catalunya, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) and the Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) to every possible effort to reach an agreement for the formation of a Parliament Bureau with a pro-independence majority. According to Llach, this pact is an obligation for these parties, since only in this way will they be able to avoid the denationalization of Catalan institutions, which, according to him, would be the result of allowing the Partit dels Socialistes de Catalunya (PSC) to lead the government of The Generalitat. Llach warns that if Salvador Illa, leader of the PSC, becomes president of the Generalitat, this denationalization could become a point of no return (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en -Catalan/).
Criticism of Oriol Junqueras and the ERC strategy
Lluís Llach has also criticized Oriol Junqueras, former leader of ERC, for having made a 180 degree turn in his political position, which, according to him, contributed to the victory of the PSC in the Catalan elections. Llach considers that Junqueras has denied everything he defended two years ago and has accused ERC of giving up its opposition function in Madrid. According to the president of the ANC, this historical contradiction of Junqueras endangers the parameters of national coexistence, such as the Catalan language (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
The importance of unity among the pro-independence forces
Lluís Llach emphasizes the need to rebuild unity among the pro-independence forces, although he does not take a position on what would be the best format for this unity. According to him, it is the same parties that must decide if they want a unified list, a common program or go separately, but with the same strategy.
Conclusion
In summary, the new president of the ANC, Lluís Llach, considers that together, the ERC and the CUP have the obligation to make every possible effort to agree on a Parliament Bureau with a pro-independence majority to avoid the denationalization of Catalan institutions . He also criticizes Oriol Junqueras and the ERC strategy, and highlights the importance of unity among pro-independence forces (https://www.softcatala.org/resum-de-textos-en-catala/).
