A context of changes and challenges
The Catalan political scenario is in a phase of transformation, and Together for Catalonia it faces a crisis that could define its future. Although it seemed initially that ERC was in a more vulnerable position in the face of the collapse of the independence process, it is clear that instability has affected more directly to together. The main reason for this situation is the lack of consistency in its political narrative.
The need for authentic renewal
One of the most worrying aspects for Together is your inability to make a significant internal change. Without an effective renewal, the party risks in facing the loss of support between indepen voters. Interestingly, the current leader, Carles Puigdemont, is still an emblematic figure of the process, which can limit his ability to attract new ideas.
An ideological identity diffuse
The ideological duality that exists within Together is palpable. On the one hand, the party seeks to remain in tune with a progressive sector that has been part of the independence process. At the same time, to counteract the competition of the Catalan Alliance, his speech is hardened, creating an internal contradiction that can be detrimental.
The impact of competition
The pressure of the Catalan Alliance becomes more and more evident, especially with the potential loss of deputies that together could experiment. This competence is not only limited to the political sphere, but also reflected in the municipal dynamics. In this context, the figure of Sílvia Orriols has become a symbol of this strategy of competition.
Municipal policy as a thermometer
The activity of Together in the municipal field is crucial to understand your current needs. Turull, on his tour of the municipalities, seeks to stop the escape of votes to Catalan Alliance, with a special focus on cities like Vic, where AC influence is notable.
The reconstruction of Catalonia: a common goal
On the other hand, the PSC under the leadership of Salvador Illa has also opted for the reconstruction of the country after the tumultuous years of the process. This initiative could indicate that some political actors could be in the background within the fragmented Catalan panorama.
Final reflections
In such a dynamic and changing political environment, together he must explore new strategies and redefine his identity if he wants to remain a relevant force in Catalan politics. Its ability to adapt to the demands of the citizenry and to find a balance between its traditional roots and the current needs will be key to their future.
