Vilalta (ERC) considers the 'Junqueras yes, Junqueras no' debate as 'unfair' and believes in a general renewal
The ERC spokesperson in parliament, Marta Vilalta, has expressed the opinion that it is “unfair to reduce the debate to Junqueras yes, Junqueras no”, referring to the manifesto signed by about 700 republican militants betting on changes in the leadership and the party, and has opted for a general renewal of the party.
In an interview last Thursday on La 2 and Ràdio 4, collected by Europa Press, he claimed that when it comes to renewal, reference is made to a change in leadership, but also to “rethinking the strategy” of the party and updating it. to rethink how to rebuild the party to reconnect with the bases and citizens and thus promote mobilization, in his words.
When asked about the former president of ERC Oriol Junqueras, he has defended that the manifesto, which he has assured that he endorses, does not aim to literally get rid of anyone's political capital, even though he has defended a change in light of Republican leadership: “The best contribution we can make is to understand that we must help rebuild the party from a new phase occupied by new leadership.”
And regarding the inauguration of the presidency of the Generalitat, for which the President of the Chamber, Josep Rull, set a limit this Wednesday until August 26, since no candidate has the necessary support, Vilalta has criticized the lack to “responsibility” of the PSC. and Junten. “They have preferred to hide to buy time for the negotiations, and we respect that, because the negotiations are important and we are there, but we believe they should have taken that responsibility and that leadership” , the Republican representative accused. regarding the Socialist candidates, Salvador Illa and Carles Puigdemont respectively.
