PP pressures Junts ahead of potential break with PSOE
Carmen González AI द्वारा उत्पन्न छवि
The Popular Party leverages Junts' threat to break with the PSOE to ramp up pressure on Pedro Sánchez's Government, during a week of key decisions in Catalan independence and judicial appearances. Deputy Secretary Elías Bendodo has urged Carles Puigdemont's party to 'stand firm' against what he calls a corrupt Government. Sánchez, meanwhile, ignores the challenge and focuses his attacks on the PP's management in Valencia after the DANA floods.
Junts bases approve end of pact with PSOE
The bases of Junts per Catalunya have endorsed with 87% support the decision to break the investiture pact with the PSOE, with 66% participation from the membership. The online consultation, which ended on Thursday, confirms the strategy announced by Carles Puigdemont on Monday in Perpiñán. The party will pursue case-by-case opposition without forcing elections or motions of censure.
