Un cambio significativo, por Editorial

  • The elections held yesterday marked a change of course in Catalan politics, dominated by the independence process.
  • Salvador Illa from the PSC, won with 42 seats and 27.9% of the votes.
  • The independentist majority did not achieve an absolute majority.
  • A potential government consisting of PSC, ERC and Comuns with an absolute majority of 68 seats is probable.
  • The PP had a significant increase in deputies (from 3 to 15), the CUP suffered losses (from 9 to 4) and Ciudadanos no longer has any seats.
  • Catalan politics has become more serene and independence enthusiasm has declined.
  • Deficiencies in education, health and migration policies are key areas to be addressed by the next government.
  • Autonomous financing is insufficient and requires urgent rectification.

Conclusion: Catalonia now needs a collective effort to recover from tumultuous and divisive times. Whatever the new government, it should prioritize the interest of all Catalans.
