Catalonia's Pro-Independence Parties Seen Losing Majority in Election: Poll

Catalonia's Pro-Independence Parties
Catalonia's pro-independence parties were seen losing their parliamentary majority in the regional election on Dec. 21, an official poll showed on Monday.


Pro-independence party Junts per Catalunya was seen winning 25-26 seats, ERC another 32 seats and extreme-left party CUP 9 seats, according to the poll carried out by Sociological Research Centre (CIS), Reuters reported.

That would give the pro-independence camp just 67 seats in the 135-seat regional parliament, stripping them of the previous slim majority.

The government's People's Party (PP) would win just 7 seats while the Socialists would take 21 and the market friendly Ciudadanos 31-32 seats, the poll showed. CatComu-Podem, the Catalan arm of the anti-austerity Podemos party, could win 9 seats, according to the survey.

  1. Catalonia's sacked vice president and three other separatist leaders will remain in prison pending a probe over their role in the region's independence drive, a Supreme Court judge decided Monday.

    Oriol Junqueras, who was sacked as vice-president when the Catalan parliament declared independence on October 27, Joaquim Forn, who used to be in charge of interior matters in Catalonia, and the leaders of two pro-independence associations will stay in prison, the court said, AFP reported.

  2. Las listas de los independentistas catalanes, que por separado, pero en coalición política, ganarán diputados hasta colocarse a un solo voto de la mayoría absoluta en el parlamento que les permitiría gobernar otra vez.

    Así lo registra una encuesta del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas, CIS dependiente de la Presidencia del gobierno español, y considerada una de las principales entidades demoscópicas.

    Como se preveía, Esquerra Republicana de Cataluña, cuyo líder Oriol Junqueras debe permanecer en prisión sin fianza, triunfaría con 32 legisladores. Dentro de los independentistas, lo sigue Juntos por Cataluña, encabezada por Carles Puigdemont, ex presidente del gobierno de la Generalitat destituido por Mariano Rajoy. Sumaría entre 25 y 26 representantes. Puigdemont hace más de un mes que viajó a Bruselas y ante un pedido de extradición de una jueza española, un juez belga debe decidir si la acepta o la rechaza.
