In the final stretch of the Junts campaign, it has focused much of its efforts on mobilizing the pro-independence electorate and trying to prevent them from staying at home on Sunday, the day of voting in the Parliamentary elections.
Abstention in that political spectrum undermined the sovereigntist candidacies in the previous electoral cycle, in the municipal elections in May and in the general elections in July of last year, and JxCat wants to avoid a repeat of that circumstance.
For this reason, its candidate, former president Carles Puigdemont, has called this Friday morning from Cotlliure, on the last day of the campaign, for a massive mobilization of the independence movement and has asked that no independentist stay at home on Sunday, in an appointment with the polls that the post-convergent leader describes as “historic” due to the possibility that the former Catalan president who was dismissed in October 2017 through article 155 of the Constitution will be “reinstated,” he said in reference to his figure.
“Let no one stay at home. “Let no one disperse the vote,” insisted Puigdemont, who in recent days has tried to concentrate the pro-independence vote using, above all, the polls that depict the May 12 elections as a face to face between the PSC candidate, Salvador Illa, and Puigdemont. Likewise, he has appealed to the undecided, who according to demoscopy can be decisive in these elections.
Likewise, the former president has considered that in Sunday’s event a victory for the independence movement would serve to send a message to the European institutions and has warned all those who stay at home that with their passivity they will contribute to getting the message of those who ” “They want to turn the page” and the PP and PSOE are right, the leader of JxCat has come to say, who closes the campaign this afternoon in Elna, in a massive event, on the grounds of the old schools.
