ERC criticizes Junts for placing itself “in the middle” and asks for punishment at the polls for Nogueras, PSC and Comuns

The leader of Esquerra, Oriol Junqueras, criticized Junts this Saturday for placing itself “in the middle” in this 29-N electoral campaign and has asked for punishment at the polls for both the post-convergents and the socialists and the commoners, since the Republicans hold all of them responsible for the loss of the additional 4.7 billion euros that the new financing system contemplated if it had been approved in Congress.

The early electoral call has left the agreement between ERC and the PSOE in ruins. “They have to receive a clear message: if people stop voting for them, they will put themselves at the service of the country,” Junqueras said from Mataró.

Today the president of the formation is starring in the ERC events and it will be tomorrow when its candidate, Gabriel Rufián, appears again in the Catalan campaign.

The leader of Esquerra has assured that voting for the three aforementioned parties “does not serve” to defend Catalonia. In the case of the PSC, for lack of "national ambition" and for "constantly dragging its feet"; Junts for its "irresponsibility" and for, in its opinion, "systematically voting against Catalonia"; and the commons, for its part, "for its "infinite sloppiness." Voting for the commons “is casting the vote,” Junqueras concluded.

Regarding JxCat's claim to be in the middle of the two blocks, Junqueras has used Dante's Divine Comedy to point out that "ERC is paradise and Vox is hell": "Therefore, Junts condemns Catalonia to live in an eternal purgatory," he concluded later. Likewise, he has reproached the post-convergents for agreeing with Vox in some Congressional votes on issues such as security or housing.

The former mayor of Sant Cugat del Vallès, Mireia Ingla, and the MEP Diana Riba also participated in the rally. Given the comments made by JxCat that it misses the ERC that agreed on 1-O with Convergència, Ingla has replied that what they miss is a “small and at their service” ERC.
