JxCat resolves this Sunday its particular primary process;

internal elections in which, rather than the candidate for the Generalitat, the new vicar of Carles Puigdemont is chosen.

To the "effective president" - said in pro-independence jargon - who will apply the orders issued from Waterloo for the escape, provided that before he manages to prevail in the regional elections of February 14, in which ERC is the favorite in all the polls published until the date.

Two antagonistic contenders are fighting in this internal fight.

The congressional deputy

, who is presumed to have greater support from the rank and file after she was already the fourth most supported candidate in the vote to choose the party's leadership, starts

as a presumable favorite

, only behind Puigdemont himself, by

and the also prisoner

.

Borràs has the public support of the disabled Quim Torra and represents the most radical faction of JxCat, the one that most vehemently flies the flag of explicit confrontation against the State and the one that most denies the party's neo-convergent heritage, of its soul more official.

The second candidacy in the running is that of the Regional Minister of the Generalitat, Damià Calvet.

Endorsed by the prisoners

,

and

, he is promoted as a presidential candidate infinitely more docile than Borràs, as an aspirant who accepts in advance a secondary role always in the shadow of Puigdemont.

So much so, that he has insistently asked the fugitive to lead the JxCat candidacy even though he wins the primaries and, therefore, elected candidate for the Presidency of the Generalitat.

The escapee still ponders topping the list

The regulation designed by the neoconvergent formation contemplates this unprecedented possibility, that the party president does not lead the list.

Exception designed so that Puigdemont can decide at the last moment if he is placed as number one of the candidacy after having been discarded as a candidate to preside over the Generalitat.

A victory for Borràs would make this maneuver difficult, since the deputy has been displaying her desire for leadership for months and would assume with disgust to be relegated to second place on the list by Puigdemont.

Regardless of what his decision is, the fugitive has already warned the former Minister of Culture of the Generalitat that he will not grant him full autonomy to govern in the event that he first wins the primaries and then also defeats the Republican Pere Aragonese in the autonomous regions.

The ascendancy of Borràs on the bases worries Puigdemont, who feels threatened his undisputed leadership in the party for the first time since he fled abroad and became "legitimate president."

The internal campaign for him to renounce being the candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat comes precisely from Borràs, who stressed to the JxCat militancy that it was not credible to continue promising the restitution of the fugitive.
