The CUP faces these elections with the aspiration of getting as close as possible to the 9 seats obtained in 2021. To do this, without forgetting the dispute between a part of the electorate with the Commons, it has made an effort to present itself as a containment barrier against what which its head of the list, Laia Estrada, has defined today as “an attempt to consolidate republican sociovergence as a governance model.” According to the candidate, it is clear that Junts, PSC and ERC, regardless of the government formula, “will agree so that nothing changes.”
The CUP appeals to the mobilization of its potential voters to maintain its presence in the Parliament and thus guarantee that the Chamber is “more pro-independence, more left-wing and more sovereign.” Estrada, who closed his campaign in Barcelona’s Born, reiterated that “we must face this return of the most timid autonomism” and an extreme right that is trying to gain positions in Catalonia.
The CUP focuses a good part of its aspirations on what may happen in Lleida and Tarragona, where a few votes can decide that a seat falls on its side or goes to the extreme right.
The candidacy headed by Laia Estrada arrives at the end of this campaign with the support of 150 personalities from the cultural and political world. Among the signatories of the manifesto are the actor Enric Auquer and the singer-songwriter Cesk Freixas.
