So far negotiations between Esquerra and Junts have been complicated, and they are unlikely to get any easier this week, as the deadline to present a candidate to president nears. From now until Friday current coalition partners of the Government have to close the negotiation so that the investiture of Pere Aragonès goes ahead. "What will happen or what will not happen on Friday? Today is Monday and we continue working with ERC," said spokeswoman Elsa Artadi. The also vice president of the party - who is part of the negotiating team - has stated that they do not feel "pressured" by the pre-agreement that ERC has reached with CUP, whose members will have to vote on the agreement between Wednesday and Thursday. On the contrary, it has reassured them to continue negotiating towards a threeway agreement. Artadi explained that this afternoon and tomorrow morning they will hold working meetings with the other two pro-independence parties.
