Ada Colau has closed this Friday in the Sant Martí park, in the district of the same name, her third electoral campaign of the municipal ones. With a very tight scenario in the polls, the mayoress and candidate of Barcelona en Comú needs to win to reissue the position. And although that sounds obvious, it is not.
Because it needs to win and it needs to do it in a comfortable way, which either arithmetically prevents the PSC and Junts from adding 21 councilors, or discourages its rivals from closing an alliance that prevents it from governing even if it wins. That is to say, that it does not happen to Ernest Maragall like four years ago. That unexpected outcome, Manuel Valls through her, who gave her the mayor’s office, could leave her without office this time, with different actors.
“The pact of the setback & rdquor;
For this reason, Colau has claimed at the end of the campaign that the “worker”, “neighborhood”, “progressive”” vote, including that of those who have supported the PSC on other occasionsbe for her, so that she can stop like thisr “the retreat pact & rdquor;How do you define a potential alliance? between socialists and post-convergents.
“People ask us to be honest, and we have been the clearest in this campaign. We are optimistic and we believe that we can win, but we are honest and we explain that no one will be able to govern alone & rdquor ;, she has proclaimed. It is something that the Comuns have often explained these days, when they have stressed that a victory for Barcelona en Comú is the guarantee of a left-wing alliance such as the one that has governed this mandate by the consistory: Barcelona en Comú and the PSC as government partners and ERC as usual external support.
Yolanda Diaz and Ione Belarra
And then he warned that “the only other possible pact & rdquor; After the municipal ones, it is the one that the mayor of Junts, Xavier Trias, and that of the PSC, Jaume Collboni, can close: “The pact of the setback that this campaign has been cooking & rdquor ;.
