Contaminated by the disorientation that plagues the separatist movement, the ANC is going through moments of anxiety.

The disagreement over the role that the main Catalan secessionist entity should play in the elections on February 14 has led to a schism that has already led to the resignation of seven members of its leadership.

A symptom of weakness that is added to other signs of exhaustion, such as the loss of mobilization capacity demonstrated in recent Diadas or its replacement in the streets by more radical and determined organizations, such as Tsunami Democràtic or the CDR, protagonists of the protests against the sentence of 1-O.

On October 25, after a tense assembly, the ANC ruled out presenting its own candidacy for the elections or requesting the vote for the parties that explicitly defended retaking the unilateral path to consummate independence.

The entity chaired by

Elisenda Paluzie was daunted

, despite the fact that the indication of party formations to negotiate with the State, such as ERC, was part of its roadmap.

Part of its leadership judged the decision as timorous and this led to the thunderous departure of the resigners, who did not limit themselves to leaving office, but did so amid accusations of "filibuster".

«We preserve our independence.

The ANC has to avoid being captured by the parties, "defended Paluzie, but his words have not managed to plug the open waterway within his entity, whose ability to influence to direct the paths of the independence process continues to wane eight years after its constitution.

The ANC has lost the intimidating capacity it exhibited during the presidency of

Carme Forcadell

, who with the "president, put the ballot boxes" pronounced at the end of the 2014 Diada demonstration, pushed

Artur Mas

to organize the 9-N consultation.

The influence of

Jordi Sànchez

does not admit of discussion either.

Under his presidency, the events of October 2017 were promoted. As the Supreme Court ruling confirmed, Sànchez directed the siege of 20-S to the Ministry of Economy, a tumult that uncorked the separatist revolt that culminated with 1-O.

The prize for Forcadell was her leap to the forefront of Catalan politics and becoming president of the Parliament, from where she played a decisive role in promoting the referendum with the processing of the "disconnection laws."

Sànchez also reaped the fruits.

After being part of the Sanhedrin that advised Carles Puigdemont to organize the illegal vote, he co-directs JxCat together with the fugitive.

A president without a legacy

A similar fate is not reserved for Paluzie.

ERC has stopped fearing it and only collaborates with Òmnium, and Puigdemont tried unsuccessfully to expel her from the presidency of the entity to place a similar leader.

After failing, the former president of the Generalitat has already clarified that he will not obey the orders of the ANC, which requires a unilateral declaration of secession if the pro-independence formations exceed 50% of the votes in the autonomous ones.

The fugitive is committed to stoking the confrontation if separatism reaches that milestone, but not to promoting a pro-independence proclamation in Parliament, like the one in 2017.

The ANC brought together 60,000 people in the last Diada forced by health restrictions, but its mobilization capacity had already begun to suffer in 2019, when it gathered 600,000, 400,000 less than in the Diada of 2018. By then, the secessionist formations They had already plotted a Democratic Tsunami - as evidenced by a judicial investigation against the

general staff

- and entrusted the violence to the CDR squads, overflowing with members of Arran, the youth of the CUP.
