Oriol Junqueras’ show of strength in the race to lead the ERC again. 31% of the 8,300 members of the ERC supported the candidacy of the former president of the party and candidate for re-election, Nació Digital advanced and elDiario.es was able to confirm it.

The ERC congress will take place on November 30 and three candidates will compete, who will, as expected, obtain the necessary approvals (412.5% ​​of the total number of activists). These are the Militància Decidim, led by Junqueras; Nova Esquerra Nacional, which brings together those close to Marta Rovira opposed to their former leader; and Foc Nou, the third candidate, more detached from the old leadership of the ERC and who aspires to gain a foothold in the struggle thanks to his open refusal to accept agreements with the PSC.

In the event that none of the three obtains more than 50% of the votes on November 30, the lists will be able to agree for the second round, which will take place on December 14. Movements in this direction have already started: Xavier Godàs, who leads the Nova Esquerra Nacional list, was in favor of concluding agreements with Foc Nou, led by Helena Solà, to prevent Junqueras from regaining control of the ERC.
