If the forecasts of the latest CEO Barometer were to be fulfilled On the high side of the fork, and if Vox were to obtain 14 deputies in the Parliament of Catalonia, and Aliança Catalana 11, their total (the extreme right-wing groups add up, even if one calls itself Spanish and the other declares itself pro-independence) would be 25 deputies, that is, 18.5% of representation. Almost 20% of ultra-nationalist deputies is a percentage that some will find scarce compared to the parliaments of other countries (the extreme right is the third force in Spain and Germany, the second in France, and directly governs in Italy), but in any case it is a worrying percentage.
We must also take into account the solid position achieved by the PP in Catalonia, with a fork that only vacillates, in this Barometer, between 14 and 15 deputies: another force, therefore, of the far right (however absurdly sympathetic some may find it, Alejandro Fernández's disputes within the PP are not a cause of internal power). The addition of the PP and Vox is automatic, and it is easier for AC to also join forces with them (above their Spanish or Catalan patriotism, which is false, they are united by hate speech against immigrants) than with the pro-independence bloc, where AC is incompatible with ERC and the CUP. They are also supposedly incompatible with Junts, although it remains to be seen what will happen in many municipalities, when one mayor's office or another may be or fall into the hands of Junts depending on the votes or abstentions of the Catalan Alliance. Not just municipalities: provincial councils and even the Parliament's board could depend on the votes of the Catalan Alliance. The presidency of the Generalitat, according to the Barometer's predictions, is not for now, but it could also happen. In any case, when certain arithmetic situations arise, we will see to what extent certain acronyms and discourses are mutually exclusive, as well as other interesting aspects, such as where the classic distinction between the ideological and national axes lies in Catalan politics.
That Vox and (especially) Aliança Catalana are by far the parties with the best electoral prospects is due to a variety of factors, but two seem clear. AC. And two, the normalization of pseudo-political discourses that are pompously presented as intellectual contributions but are nothing more than resentful rhetoric, in which personal frustrations are confused with collective ones, has undoubtedly been fueled by Mr. Esteve, but not obviously harmful to everything they so solemnly claim to defend.
