The former president of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) Elisenda Paluzie has indicated this Monday that the current leader of the pro-independence entity, Dolors Feliu, should not resign despite the open crisis within the organization due to the possibility of presenting or not an electoral candidacy in the next parliamentary elections.
This weekend, 13 ANC leaders resigned, including number two, Jordi Pessarrodona, who join the previous resignation of another member of his leadership, the national secretariat, at the beginning of February. “In an address of 70 people, 13 do not reach 20%,” he considered in an interview on Ràdio 4 and La 2 Paluzie, who added that there are other mechanisms to kick Feliu out if there was a majority willing to do so.
For his part, Feliu already made it clear this weekend that he does not intend to resign and that he will continue to defend the possibility that the ANC promote a list to run in the Catalan elections. The resignation block, the critics, accuse him of “authoritarianism” by continuing to bet on a civic list in the Catalans and demand “more debate.”
In relation to the candidacy, Paluzie has indicated that to attend the next elections with a “civic list”, as approved in the entity’s roadmap last year, although the management has not yet agreed on anything in this regard, It can help add up in case there is “abstentionism” in the independence spectrum.
“Perhaps the three pro-independence parties would not exceed 50% of the votes” if there were elections, the former leader pointed out, referring to Esquerra Republicana, Junts per Catalunya and the CUP.
“It has to be analyzed, maybe it can be a propellant and can help instead of harming the sum of the independence movement, and it could also have the ability to guide and condition action in Parliament, now that the sheet of information has been abandoned. common route”, added the former president of the ANC.
Regarding the option of running herself to lead the electoral list, she stressed that “to this day she does not consider it”, and has remarked that she really likes her work as a professor at the university.
Referring to the course of the Government and the party that commands the Genealitat, Esquerra, Paluzie stressed that “he has had a unilateral commitment to the dialogue table that is failing.”
