  • Junts per Catalunya wants Pedro Sánchez to submit to a vote of confidence in the Congress.
  • Carles Puigdemont has rejected the leadership of the opposition in the Catalan Parliament.
  • Puigdemont has Salvador Illa's notable balance at the 100 days of reaching the Govern in front of him.
  • Puigdemont's movement is conditioned by his seven deputies the Government will need to approve the budgets.
  • Junts seeks to create new demands to increase its pressure, using the non-law proposition.
  • Junts' proposal is constitutional and would be logical if the arguments were valid.
  • Junts' initiative can be a budget negotiation strategy but may also be an attempt to form a new majority with PP and Vox.

Conclusion: Although it causes instability, Puigdemont's resort to institutional mechanisms should be applauded. The parliamentary route is the democratic resolution to the discrepancies between political parties. Junts' real intentions will be revealed through their upcoming actions in Congress.
