The PP asserts that the Catalan Alliance "has more power" because it "plays into Illa's hands" with a "shared interest" against Junts.

The deputy spokesperson for the People's Party (PP) in the Parliament and president of the Barcelona PP, Manu Reyes, stated this Friday that the Diada has shown that the Catalan Alliance "is growing in strength, probably because it also plays into Salvador Illa's hands" and has a "shared interest" in making "a dent" in Junts.
