neither artur mass neither Jordi Puyol More than a year has passed since he was invited by party leaders led by Carles Puigdemont to join Jants. Two former presidents of Catalonia don’t believe either. … This move is appropriate, among other things, to maintain “independence in expressing opinions on current events,” and given that Junz’s political moves are “unpredictable” at this point, sources close to Mas and Puyol told this newspaper that it was no coincidence that they made the same claim.
In October 2024, Mas confessed that he had not joined Janz “yet” and expected it would be months, if not weeks, before he finally signed the application and paid his membership fee (members pay 10, 20 or 50 euros each month). Speaking on RTVE’s Circuit de Catalunya TV program, which he hosted Generalitat from 2010 to 2016, he said: Jordi Trull Party Secretary-General, please take a look. “When and how?”
Just three months before that public confession, at a dinner party in a town in the province of Barcelona, some 80 Gento executives, mostly former Convergencia militants, urged Mas and Puyol to join them in a partisan adventure. From that agape, interestingly, it leaked that both protagonists accepted the offer. Nothing could be further from the truth. And a few weeks later, when Mr. Puigdemont’s mentor was asked about it on television, he distanced himself.
However, he pointed out that his decision could not be evaluated as that of an extremist and that it seemed appropriate, if necessary, to step up the engagement with Mr. Jantz with the help of Mr. Puyol, who led the government for 23 years (1980-2003). “There is a symbolic point in this. “Puyol and I would like to partner,” he suggested. Both former regional presidents still recognize the importance of decisions like this. Also about the meaning of not taking a step forward.
The founders of Convergència find themselves in the same situation. “He has no intention of participating. It’s even more comfortable from the outside looking in. At his age, it doesn’t make much sense for him to be a member of the Junts. Mr. Puyol’s aides told the ABC that he is “exploring his position as a former president who has survived civil wars and partisan disputes.” 95 years He is focused on reclaiming his political legacy and will stand trial with all of his children in national court for crimes including belonging to a criminal organization.
“Waterloo Wall”
Mr. Juntz’s recruitment efforts, along with special efforts from Mr. Trull, have so far been fruitless. It seems logical that Mr. Puigdemont regards the decisions of Mr. Mas and Mr. Puyol as an expression, without expressing it, of a complete distrust of his leadership (personal) and that they do not share some of the strategic decisions (political). for example, Continuing to position Jundt as a “processor” in 2017 and meet their demands to the fullest.
Given this situation, and the fact that the party has embarked on a directionless and destinationless journey, including the breakdown of negotiations with the PSOE and the government of Pedro Sánchez, and the legislative blockade in Congress, unofficial party sources told this paper that they perceived the first rift in Trull’s relationship with the president. Miriam Nogueras For increasing his influence over the decisions of Mr. Puigdemont. The main reason for this is probably the difference in views between the two parties regarding how to deal with the breakdown in relations with the socialists.
“They’ve grown apart in recent weeks and their relationship has cooled down,” he told ABC from the match. «Miriam execute “This is all M. Puigdemont has asked for since Waterloo, but she is angry because all the polls show that we are losing seats in parliament,” the same source declared, adding, “We are losing seats in exile. The walls are tough and high, so everyone is very cautious about Waterloo.”These sources warned that relations could be complicated because Nogueras doesn’t have a team and Trull has one but is losing influence. “Mr. Trull usually feels like this.” exiled, Even if he were the general secretary, Miriam and Petitdemont would do and undo whatever they wanted.
When this situation (the distance between Mas and Puyol with Petit de Monts, the internal conflict between Trull and Nogueras) added to the strong external pressure on Junz, Catalan Union – In this regard, some political sectors predict that the Generalitat’s next poll will be a “bomb” – the party is starting to show the first signs of structural weakness.
Despite all this, despite the fact that the Mas-Puyol tandem took part in the last Catalan election campaign (“I always help Jantz when he asks me to. My affinity is with these people,” Mas defends), Puyol’s Dolphins roll up their sleeves and sabotage when they deem it necessary. silvia orioles The on-field signing was paid for by Jantz, but the current situation makes it impossible for both sides to take a step forward. “Educate and support Jants to become a useful and predictable party, and be open to agreements with the PSOE, PSC and PP,” party officials say, pointing out that this is the aim of the former CiU regional presidents, who therefore refuse to keep Jants on a “processualist” path, as Puigdemont and Nogueras claim.
