ERC's objective is to prevent the next president of the Generalitat from being "a delegate of La Moncloa."
The current head of the Catalan Government, the Republican Pere Aragonès, has referred in this way to the favorite to win the electoral victory on March 12, the socialist Salvador Illa, who precisely today has been ratified by the PSC, unanimously, as first secretary and candidate for the May elections.
Aragonès, who will run for re-election, has opened his party's pre-campaign with a political event in Barcelona, under the slogan "Catalonia Wins", in which the senior staff of the independence party participated: its president, Oriol Junqueras;
the general secretary, Marta Rovira (by videoconference from Switzerland);
the vice president of the Government, Laura Vilagrà, and the spokesperson, Marta Vilalta.
The representative in Congress and former counselor Teresa Jordà and, electronically, the deputy Ruben Wagensberg, also in Geneva for more than two months following the information published about the Tsunami Democràtic case, in which He is currently being investigated for terrorism in the Supreme Court along with Carles Puigdemont, also exposed due to his status as a MEP.
Aragonès has also thrown darts at Junts and En Comú Podem, whom he blames for Catalonia not having new Budgets for this year, after the plenary session of the Parliament rejected them last Wednesday.
