Esquerra Republicana
's objective
for the next Catalan legislature is to "change everything." And that includes, according to its president,
Oriol Junqueras
, achieving a new financing system for Catalonia, because the current autonomous model "is tremendously unfair", and also organizing a new
self-determination referendum
.
"With enough support from the people, we must be able to do it. And, if it is necessary for some of us to go back to jail, we will go back," he challenged, referring to his time in prison after the illegal
1-O
referendum .
In an interview in the newspaper
Nació
, the republican leader has assured that his party faces the
May 12 elections
"with all the ambition in the world" and has refused to anticipate any type of pact after the elections with
Junts
, the
PSC
or
En Comú Podem
: "The best option would be for ERC to have so much support that it did not need to make agreements with either irresponsible or selfish people."
