Nogueras affirms that Junts is the “only party of Catalan obedience” on 29-N for the ERC- Podemos alliance

The Junts per Catalunya candidate for the general elections on November 29, Miriam Nogueras, claimed this Saturday that her party “is the only one that presents itself in these elections as a force of strictly Catalan obedience”, which is why she excludes Esquerra Republicana from this categorization.

Delving into this issue, Nogueras added that “ERC has formed a coalition with a Spanish left-wing party ( Podemos ) and, therefore, is in obedience to Spain.” “For some, the priority ends up being to obey Spanish parties, to ally with Spanish parties and to be part of all this noise and all this polarization, allowing themselves to be dragged by the extremes,” added the leader of the post-convergent ranks in Madrid.

In this sense, Miriam Nogueras has said that JxCat's priority “has always been and is Catalonia, Catalans and solving people's real problems.” In his opinion, his training has meant that in this legislature "Catalonia and the Catalans were put at the center of practically all the decisions that have been adopted in Madrid, although some are bothered by it."

Although Junts' message is that they are not part of any bloc and that they are "in the middle", Nogueras has asked to be able to have "more strength": "The louder the voice of Catalonia is, the more Catalonia will advance. The more strength we have, the more we end up forcing the Government to do things that they would not do if we were not there."

This was stated in a media address from Sant Celoni, where he participated in a solidarity walk against breast cancer in Sant Celoni. He gave as an example that they have managed to accelerate the authorization and access of some medicines approved by the European Union against this disease in a shorter time than usual.

According to the post-convergent leader, the European Union gives governments a period of 180 days to authorize the medicines previously authorized by them, and indicates that in Spain it takes 600 days in several cases: "From 29-N we hope to have more strength to be able to put pressure and that, if now there are 2 out of 10 medicines that are accessible in a timely manner, there will be 10 out of 10 from then on."
