Carles Puigdemont and Oriol Junqueras met this Thursday in Waterloo in what is their first meeting since both were revalidated this fall as leaders of Junts and ERC, respectively. With relations at a low point between both pro-independence groups, the meeting also coincides with the decision in the Congress of Deputies on whether to process the motion of confidence raised by Junts against President Pedro Sánchez.
At the doors of the meeting, at the ‘House of the Republic’ in Puigdemont, Junqueras did not want to go into details. “Our desire is to have a fluid and polite relationship with everyone,” he stated. “It is always good to have the best possible relationships with all social and political agents, and Junts are part of that group.”
Puigdemont and Junqueras will participate in the event with their respective numbers 2, Jordi Turull and Elisenda Alemany. Their last meeting was in June 2024, in the midst of negotiations on the investiture of Salvador Illa in Catalonia, although by then Junqueras had resigned as president of ERC and Puigdemont was not yet officially at the head of Junts as he is now.
