With this calling card, it was not difficult to foresee that Joan Carretero would support Aliança Catalana, as has ended up happening. He is the first former minister of the Generalitat to publicly position himself in favor of Sílvia Orriols' party. He announced it in a tweet just after the Diada following the insults that the party leader received during the anti-fascist protests at the Fossar and the September 11th demonstration, and also due to an incident she suffered in Puigcerdà. "These days AC has gained, at least, 1 vote: the shouts of “Jew” at Sílvia Orriols and the tugging this morning by a Moorish son of a bitch (redundancy) who wanted to steal the chain I wear around my neck with the Magen David have made up my mind," he wrote in reference to the Star of David, the six-pointed symbol associated with the Jewish people and Judaism, which he wore around his neck. "Maybe they won't change anything, however, this pisses off everyone who has filled Catalonia with thieves, rapists and murderers. I continue with the thought that one cannot participate in the Spanish institutions in Catalonia. We will annoy the processists," he added in the tweet.</p>]]></description>

It seems, then, that the Islamophobic party is here to stay. Although Sílvia Orriols's party is rooted in her rejection of Muslim immigration, for a segment of the independence movement, voting for the Catalan Alliance is also becoming a vote of punishment for the paralysis of the Process, although Orriols also <a href="https://es.ara.cat/politica/elecciones-catalunya/vienen-votos-alianca-catalana_1_5030855.html" >attracts pro-Spanish voters from Vox and the PP.</a> In this scenario, is there room for new pro-independence groups? De pie and Al mismo tiempo are the other two groups that were also preparing to make the leap to the Catalan Parliament.</p>]]></description>

According to ARA, the party proposed to the two visible leaders of the National Front of Catalonia (FNC), whose party Sílvia Orriols split from, to lead the lists for the elections in these two districts. They are Sergi Perramon, councillor in Manresa, and Albert Camps, the mayor of Masó, the only two towns where the Front has representation. However, both leaders rejected Orriols, who if he had succeeded in his proposal would have definitively put an end to his direct competition in the far right independence movement.</p>]]></description>
