The former president of the Generalitat Jordi Pujol sponsored this Thursday the Paral·lel 41 Foundation, which aims to relaunch Catalanism. This think tank, chaired and promoted by the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Victòria Alsina, aims to "update" the political movement and make it return to the "center of consensus," and was presented at an event at the La Pedrera auditorium, filled with former Convergent officials. Alsina, a Junts councilor in Barcelona and member of the national executive of Carles Puigdemont's party, aims to transcend the Convergent space and ensure that Catalanism returns to being a protagonist in the country. A political concept that encompasses diverse sensibilities and is not limited exclusively to independence, but recovers the nature of Artur Mas's 'casa gran' and CiU in general, but wants to go further in the ideological spectrum.

The Consell per la República already has a government, with Carles Puigdemont as its leader and an assembly of representatives with 121 seats, and now also a "free ministry of Foreign Affairs". The Waterloo-based entity wants to be nourished by "representatives from around the world" who will dedicated themselves to "explaining the Catalan conflict". They can be volunteers.

Victòria Alsina (Barcelona, 1983) is the Catalan Minister for Foreign Action and Open Government. In the past, she has also been the Catalan Government's delegate to the United States.

Next Tuesday 41 accused by the Court of Auditors will rule on an expected multi-million bail for former Generalitat officials linked to its foreign action. The current Catalan minister for Foreign Action is Victòria Alsina. She is not affected by the investigation, which focuses on the period 2011-2017, but has assured that this case will not condition her work. For her, the open case seeks to "scare" the current senior officials who do work in this, but she has guaranteed that it will not succeed. "I am not afraid, because I believe that this is what is sought," he said in an interview with ACN.
