An even more radical ANC, which without hesitation points to ERC and its pactist strategy and inflames the independence process to favor the resurrection of JxCat and the political survival of Carles Puigdemont . The fugitive maneuver to secure control of the main Catalan separatist entity, taking advantage of celebrating a crucial internal elections in which the continuity of its current president, Elisenda Paluzie is not at all assured.

The secessionist organization has a particular and questioned election method from which the former president of the Generalitat intends to take advantage of to place the ANC front on a candidate of total ideological agreement. And is that, despite vehemently defending the right of Catalonia to "decide its future", the entity does not allow its 44,900 members to elect its president. Their votes only serve to choose the 77 members who make up the ANC leadership, and it is these "national secretaries" who, on the 20th, will choose in a second private vote the new leader of the organization.

Although Paluzie returned to become yesterday the candidate most voted by the partners, it could be unseated if, in that sort of internal second round, Puigdemont and his relatives catapult his applicant: Montse Soler , third most voted by the partners, but very close To one of the most extreme and influential voices of Catalan secessionism, the president of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, Joan Canadell .

Canadell has strengthened ties with Puigdemont in recent times. The political coincidence with the escape of the Spanish Justice is total. Both have intoned Spain infects us frequently and without blush during the crudest days of the pandemic. The idyll has reached such a point that Puigdemont has tested Canadell as a JxCat candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat, replacing the amortized Quim Torra. Waiting to specify how the electoral list resolves the Parliament, the fugitive -Canadell through- now seeks to decide the ANC elections to ensure control of the separatist organization in the Catalan electoral campaign.

Montse Soler, the covered one of Puigdemont and Canadell.

Puigdemont and Canadell's strategy is to mobilize the new members of the ANC leadership to anoint their chosen one in that second internal round and which will also include another well-known face of independence, that of Antonio Baños , the former deputy of the CUP that recently challenged the Supreme Court by refusing to testify as a witness in the 1-O trial.

Although yesterday he was the second most voted candidate by ANC members, the emergence of the Puigdemont and Canadell cover up ends the options for the anti-leftist candidate, who will resign to run for the presidency. Baños already tried to take over the reins of the entity in its previous elections, held in 2018, but was vetoed by the organization's electoral board for participating in a political gathering, something prohibited by statute, since it is only allowed to campaign in acts organized by the ANC itself.

The veto was very poorly digested by the least official sector of the association, which denounced a preventive purge to prevent Paluzie's victory from being threatened. Two years later, the ANC elections have once again been peppered with the veto of Roger Heredia , an ERC candidate and militant in the last elections to the Parliament, and that the formation chaired by Oriol Junqueras had nominated to gain weight in a very hostile to the republicans, whom he does not forgive his pacts with Pedro Sánchez. The most radical secessionism continues to identify the Prime Minister as "father of 155" despite his current and close collaboration with the independence movement.

The ERC candidate was excluded from the electoral process for «appearing in the media and writing articles during the campaign», but he attributes it to a «persecution» by the faction closest to JxCat to «purge him» and design an ANC «more small and sectarian ».

After overcoming the initial screening with 6,078 votes, for the 5,283 of Baths and the 4,687 of Soler, Paluzie will check in a week if Puigdemont's movements take effect, he sets it aside and takes the ANC.
