The Posture of Laura Borràs
Given the statements of the former mayor of Barcelona Xavier Trias, in which he assured that the president in exile and Junts candidate for the May 12 elections, Carles Puigdemont, should return to preside over the junta formation, the current leader of Junts, Laura Borràs has clearly expressed his disagreement with Trias’s words.
Borràs stated in an interview on RTVE that she is the one who presides over the party and that Puigdemont does not need an organic position. According to the president of the juntaire formation, it is not the time to open debates of this type at the doors of the Catalan elections, since they do not contribute or add up.
Despite this, Borràs has also made it clear that he is not surprised by Trias’ statements, since he considers him a free person who expresses his opinion.
Laura Borràs’ Opinion on Carles Puigdemont
During the interview, Laura Borràs firmly defended her position, arguing that Puigdemont stopped presiding over Junts at the time he considered appropriate. For the Juntaire president, it is not necessary for the candidate of the 12-M party to hold any organic position in the party to head the list for the Catalan elections.
In addition, Borràs also requested that the responsibilities of Salvador Illa, head of the PSC list, be clarified for his alleged mismanagement during the pandemic.
Criticisms of Salvador Illa
Borràs took advantage of the interview to criticize the socialist candidate for 12-M. He believes that Illa is proposing new recipes and turning the page in the face of the next Catalan elections, despite having to appear in Congress and the Senate to give explanations about the controversial purchase of masks during the pandemic.
In summary, Laura Borràs’s position regarding the statements of Xavier Trias and the candidacy of Carles Puigdemont is clear and firm, defending her leadership in Junts and expressing her opinion on Puigdemont’s presidency and the responsibilities of Salvador Illa.
