No surprises, as there have been no surprises in the former seismic ERC for a long time. The militancy of ERC has given the long-awaited boost to the single list that attended the Republican Congress with 87% of the votes and a participation of 50.2%. The official list, whose motto was ‘More republicanism, more freedom’, is headed by Oriol Junqueras as president of the formation, Martha Rovira as general secretary, the president of the Generalitat, Pere Aragonesas national coordinator and Martha Vilalta as deputy general secretary and spokesperson. Junqueras and Rovira will therefore reach 15 years at the head of the force.
This is the fourth time, thanks to the change in the statutes made in 2019, after the imprisonment of Junqueras and the change of residence of Rovira, in which both receive the warmth in the form of a vote from the nearly 9,000 Republican militants. With the change in the internal regime, the maximum limit of 12 years at the head of the force was removed. In 2011 they achieved 92.07% support, compared to 92.9% in 2015 and 88.34% in 2019. Election day was held this Sunday, either in person or online, between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. hours.
In addition to Junqueras, Rovira, Aragonès and Vilalta, he will also repeat as president of the National Council Josep Maria Jove, current president of the parliamentary group in the Catalan Chamber, pending trial for 1-O and a key figure in all negotiations and agreements that in recent years have been carried out both with the central government and the PSOE, as well as with Junts and the CUP.
The new directorate will go from seven to 10 deputy secretaries, since areas such as Management and Finance, International relations and the Institutional Coordination they will have greater weight, while new Secretariats are incorporated, such as Affiliation, Knowledge or Global Justice.
The deputy general secretaries will be Jordi Roig (Resources, Finance and Management); Marc Colomer (Communication and Strategy); Rachel Sans (Feminisms and LGTBI); Adriana Hernandez (Institutional Coordination); Lluis Salvado (Internal Coordination); Martha Vilaret (Rights, Freedoms and Antirepressive Struggle); Raul Romeva (Foresight, Agenda 2030 and Ecological Transition); Sara Bailec (Political and Sectoral Action), and Jordi Sole (International relations).
