On Monday, Nuria Parlon, the spokesperson for the Catalan Socialist Party (PSC), stated that her party’s priority is to lead a tripartite regional government by joining forces with the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) and the leftist formation Comuns Sumar.
Previously, the PSC achieved a historic victory in the Catalan elections, securing 42 seats on Sunday. Together for Catalonia (Junts) increased its number of seats from 32 to 35, while the ERC’s seats dropped from 33 to 20 and Comuns Sumar obtained six legislators.
Parlon stated that her political organization would talk to all parties, except for the far-right Vox and Catalan Alliance, an Islamophobic party that entered parliament for the first time.
On Monday morning, former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont asserted that he would present his candidacy to be invested as president and emphasized that his party could achieve a broader majority than the Socialist candidate Salvador Illa could form.
