  • Catalonia's elections enter the campaign with a different scenario than previous calls.
  • Uncertainty about the possible resignation or not of the Government President, Pedro Sánchez, prevails.
  • The importance of focusing on solutions to the everyday problems of voters is emphasized.
  • Current problems of Catalans relegate territorial tensions and the independence process to the background.
  • There are tensions and differences between secessionist and non-secessionist parties.
  • Carles Puigdemont might return to Spain and run for office again, but his plan of action remains unclear.
  • The favoritism of Salvador Illa, according to the polls, might encourage the formation of a government that favors agreements.
  • Esquerra Republicana and the Catalan PP will play an important role in these elections.

Conclusion: The political situation in Catalonia is complex and marked by uncertainty, but a change of focus is called for to solve everyday problems and seek agreements rather than deepening existing divisions.
