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.
The breakup of the investiture pact between Junts per Catalunya and the PSOE has been finalized following a consultation with the bases that concluded on October 30, 2025. With 6,300 affiliates according to official data, 66% participated in the online vote started on Wednesday and closed at six in the evening on Thursday. The question posed was: “Do you agree with the executive's proposal to consider the investiture agreement with the PSOE finalized due to repeated breaches of its commitments?”. The results show 86.9% in favor, 10.2% against, and 2.8% blank, amounting to approximately 87% support as announced by the party.
The decision was validated by the Consell Nacional on Tuesday, after the executive's announcement on Monday in Perpiñán, France. There, Carles Puigdemont, leader of Junts, stated: “A pact that is not executed is a broken agreement”. He added: “The Junts leadership has decided to break its support for the Government and exercise opposition”, without specifying particular impacts. Puigdemont rejected forcing elections or a motion of censure with the PP and Vox, parties that, according to him, are far from helping Catalonia.
The general secretary, Jordi Turull, explained that Junts' vote will be decided in Congress without privileged negotiations, though open to issues positive for Catalonia. This tactic echoes the “Junts method” defended by Puigdemont in July: assessing whether measures benefit Catalans, respect competencies and identity, and advance toward independence.
Pedro Sánchez's Government downplays the impact. In his Senate appearance on Wednesday, Sánchez responded to Junts representative Eduard Pujol: “You arrive here saying you have moved to opposition and I don't understand it very well, because you have always prided yourselves on being in opposition”. The Executive believes it can negotiate vote by vote, as in the recent client attention law that mandates service in Catalan, Galician, and Basque, approved with Junts' support.
