Puigdemont's strategy weakens the Government so as not to lose influence in Catalonia

• Conflict policy within Junts: Puigdemont advocates breaking the coalition with ERC, Turull asks to consult it with the militancy

The crisis that could lead to the rupture between JxCat and ERC in the Government has

as a shadow protagonist.

He has been constantly branded by the Junts councilors and his attacks on the Generalitat de

to delegitimize his commitment to the dialogue table.

Puigdemont does not forgive ERC for losing the influence it had in the previous legislature when it put

at the head of the Government to continue with its strategy of confrontation with the State, although more watered down since it limited itself to disobeying court orders to remove banners in favor of imprisoned sovereignists.

The former Catalan president dedicated himself to torpedoing the Catalan Executive of Aragonès from the outset and for this reason he strengthened the

in an attempt to make it the "legitimate" institution of Catalonia, leaving the Generalitat governed by Esquerra in the background.

This campaign of ignoring began when the Government opened the dialogue table with the Republicans since JxCat was excluded from the negotiation at all times, considering that "a country is not made in offices", as Puigdemont stated, who recalled that "the confrontation with the State is an inevitable reality that we must go through if we want Catalonia to be recognized as a sovereign and independent nation".

Even this week, which marks the fifth anniversary of 1-O, Puigdemont continued with his campaign of contempt for the Generalitat and a large part of the independence movement by capitalizing on the events in Barcelona, ​​with the help of the ANC and Òmnium, to evoke the illegal referendum and voting.

The former Catalan president was the one who encouraged the sovereignists to attend the rally in front of the

as he urged them to "maintain their position" and resist the "repression" of the State, although he also left a message for ERC by highlighting that the anniversary of 1-O serves "not only to remember this feat, but also and above all, which is what some do not want to hear, to warn them of what we are willing to do, how far we are willing to go".

And it is that Puigdemont does not forgive Aragonès for the dismissal until this Wednesday of Vice President

'his man' in the Government since he is one of those closest to the former president.

Shortly after learning that Puigneró was no longer Vice President and Minister of Digital Policies and Territory, Puigdemont assured that "loyalty that matters is loyalty to Catalonia. Jordi Puigneró has always shown it, and for years" and with double intentions added " We will not be able to say the same about others when they have left office. Thank you, Vice President, for your work and for having laid the foundations for the country's digital sovereignty."

For this reason, Puigdemont's influence could be seen yesterday when within JxCat those who wanted to break the Catalan government fought, led by the former president from Belgium and

, his extension in the party, and the less belligerent, led by

, which urges caution six months before the municipal elections and demands that the bases be consulted on this decision to leave the Generalitat.

And it is that the elections can be a great argument for numerous party officials at the local level who precisely have their political career in town halls and corporations and who are risking it against ERC, their great competitors.

Declaring war on the Republicans could jeopardize numerous post-election agreements and the independence movement could lose important municipalities.

A whole strategy that will have to be seen if it blows up due to the fratricidal struggles within the independence movement.

What is clear is that the government agreement between Esquerra and Junts per Catalunya is not fulfilled, since the pact included an exclusive chapter for coordination with three parliamentary, governmental and party commissions, which should shield relations within the coalition .

Despite attempts to improve communication, tensions have been constant in this year and a half of legislature and the latest disagreement with the warning to Aragonès that he submit to a matter of trust has been the straw that broke the camel's back and took ahead of Vice President Jordi Puigneró.

The Catalan president made him ugly that he did not inform him of his party's decision to publicly question him in Parliament.
