Laura Borràs Affirms Commitment to Junts and Catalonia’s Independence

In a recent interview published in the Diari Ara and reported by Europa Press, Laura Borràs, the president of the Catalan political party Junts, provided a firm stance on her role in the party and the ongoing quest for independence. Borràs decisively rejected any notion of stepping aside, stating that her intent is to move forward, rather than take a step back.

Borràs’s Vision for Junts and Independence

Borràs made it clear that she does not come from a tradition of “steps aside.” She proclaimed, “I am from the ‘not a step back’ ideology. The steps I intend to take are to advance towards independence.” Her comments were a response to inquiries about whether she would resign to allow former president of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, to regain leadership of the party.

Recognition of Puigdemont

During the interview, Borràs reiterated that Puigdemont’s leadership does not hinge on holding a formal position. “He founded the party, and I cannot go further than that because the president has not indicated what he wants to do,” she explained.

Political Context and Challenges

Borràs further addressed the broader political landscape, particularly focusing on the issue of the Amnesty Law. She believes that the government should do more to implement this law, which she considers already a reality. However, she highlighted that “there is a judicial leadership declaring itself in rebellion that is not applying it.”

Implications for Spanish Government

She remarked on the Spanish government’s parliamentary defeats, linking them to the adherence to agreements reached with Junts. “The defeats will depend on the level of compliance with the agreements. This seems to be a challenge for them, but they are beginning to understand it,” Borràs added.

Conclusion

Laura Borràs’s clear statements reinforce her commitment to driving the independence agenda forward within Junts, suggesting a firm hand in navigating the political challenges ahead. Her assertions of loyalty to Catalonia’s political movement enhance her role as a pivotal figure in the ongoing struggle for independence.
