Salvador Illa goes on the offensive due to the loss of support from the Government and the rise of Aliança Catalana

The marked loss of support suffered by the PSC Government leads Salvador Illa to go on the offensive. After learning from the Sigma Dos poll for EL MUNDO last Friday that he lost 11 deputies compared to the May 2024 elections, the socialist led a choral attack on Aliança Catalana coinciding with the Diada. The fact that Sílvia Orriols' party is already in a position to become the second force in the Parliament when we are two years away from the end of the Catalan legislature, has caused alarms to go off in the Palau de la Generalitat.

If Illa called in her institutional message on September 11 to stop "hate", in implicit reference to the far-right independence party led by the mayor of Ripoll, who is also the mayor of Ripoll, today she will give a conference under the pretext of having passed the halfway point of her mandate and in which she will encourage her party and the entire Catalan society to "mobilize" to seek the resurrection of her political space and recover the social support that led her to win the last regional elections.

According to sources from the presidency of the Generalitat, Illa will draw up a long-term project, avoiding falling into short-termism to "prepare the country for the next decade." "Housing, productivity, climate transition or training" will be the axes of a discourse especially focused on young people who, he will maintain, "represent talent, ambition and the future."

This message seeks to constitute a shock after Catalonia's academic results have not even been taken into account in the PISA report, which has produced catastrophic data for Spain as a whole and did not value Catalan autonomy for having excluded 23% of its students from the sample, four times more than what is recommended by the OECD.
