'Procés' Carles Puigdemont calls for the Consell per la República to supplant the parties
Lengua Junts is removed from the pact to shield the immersion and unleashes another crisis with ERC
Jordi Sànchez
will not choose to repeat as general secretary of
Junts per Catalunya
next June, when the party will hold a Congress in which it will elect its new leadership.
The former president of the
Catalan National Assembly
, who in recent months has received several internal criticisms from some sectors of the party, announced it this Saturday at the National Council of
Postconvergents
in Alcarràs (Lérida).
Sànchez has justified his decision because "the times require a different way of working".
With his movement, he has said, he intends to make it easier for a single candidacy to be presented within two months that will allow the party to strengthen its cohesion ahead of next year's municipal elections.
The Congress of Junts will be held in the first fortnight of June in the south of France, which will allow the presence of the former president of the Generalitat and leader of the party,
Carles Puigdemont
, and the former councilors of the Govern
Toni Comín
and
Lluís Puig
, also persecuted by the Spanish Justice.
The still general secretary of JxCat has also referred in his speech to the controversy over
linguistic immersion
: "The enemies of the Catalan language today dress in black, they are part of
the Supreme Court
that has sentenced us to prison for having defended the ballot boxes and having voted
yes
in a referendum".
Sànchez thanked
Esquerra Republicana
,
PSC
and
En Comú Podem
for postponing the processing of the bill to modify the
Language Policy Law
after Junts dropped the initial agreement with those three parties.
This afternoon, precisely, several entities grouped in the
Enllaçats per la llengua
platform will demonstrate in the center of Barcelona against this agreement, considering that it puts an end to the immersion system in education in Catalonia.
