The socialists' result is well above the 17 seats they had in 2017. The Salvador Illa operation has worked and has capitalised on the non-independence vote under the PSC umbrella, because the socialists have recovered 16 seats, especially in the metropolitan area, cities where Ciudadanos had won in the last elections. The latter, who were victorious in the 2017 elections, are shrunken on the map: they get only 6 seats, 30 less than in 2017. The setback is unprecedented: Cs has gone from first to seventh force in the hemicycle.

In an interview on Gemma Nierga's Cafè d'idees on TV2 and Radio 4, reported by ACN, Sabater has assured this morning that the CUP is not willing to support the presidential candidate of JxCat, Laura Borràs, while she is still under investigation for alleged irregularities when she was the head of the Institució de les Lletres Catalanes. Sabater denied it later. "Obviously not," Sabater replied when asked if Borràs could be invested if she were to be indicted by the Supreme Court. "The suspicions of corruption should be clarified before someone is enabled to govern the country," she then sentenced.

The broad path, it is understood, means that there is room for new and old independentistas, for those who are in a hurry and those who think more support is needed first, for those want nothing to do with Spain and those who believe in a fraternal Spain. Naturally, "broad path" means that JxCat's path is narrow, because only the pure fit in.

CUP's political council's approval last Saturday of a document that refuses to allow the CUP to enter the government and advocates that it remain in opposition caused a political earthquake that can still be felt. Three days before the start of the campaign, the anti-capitalist group has convened a new extraordinary political council tomorrow in which it leaves the door open to entering a future government and proposes postponing the debate on whether or not to enter the executive until after the elections. The document also advocates a choral campaign where the rest of the candidates have a presence - rather than everything revolving around the head of the CUP list, Dolors Sabater.

The CUP's campaign for the Catalan elections will undergo changes after the party's political council on Saturday decided to "amend" some issues. This was explained on Sunday by number three on the list, Eulàlia Reguant, who did not specify the scope of these changes. Reguant has argued that these changes must be made because the CUP is an "unabashed assembleary" formation in which its people "decide collectively".
