Junts Breaks Ties with PSOE Amidst Political Tensions in Catalonia

The political landscape in Catalonia has shifted as Junts, led by Carles Puigdemont, has unanimously decided to end its alliance with the PSOE. This decision was reached during a meeting of the party”s leadership, as reported by Catalonia”s autonomous television station.

Junts plans to outline its position in a press conference scheduled for later today. The party has expressed that the PSOE“s response to its demands has not met expectations for continued support. This separation will require validation from the party”s members.

Despite this break with the PSOE, it is not anticipated that Junts will support a motion of censure alongside other parties. The aim appears to be undermining the current legislative session rather than pursuing immediate governmental changes.

The final stance of Junts will be clarified during the upcoming public address, where Puigdemont is expected to speak to the media. In response to these developments, Salvador Illa, the president of the Catalan government, urged caution and common sense from Junts. He emphasized that all measures from the Spanish government have been fulfilled and warned against the potential regression that could follow a government led by any alternative to Pedro Sánchez.

The political climate remains tense, and observers are keenly awaiting the details to emerge from Junts” press conference this afternoon. Illa stated, “We will listen to what Junts has to say about their agreements and evaluations, as we respect the internal dynamics of all parties involved.”
