Almost two years later, a similar incident has not occurred again, and things are calming down, although the capital of Bages is the 23rd city in the country in terms of crime. This sense of insecurity has catapulted the far right in Manresa and, in turn, has caused Junts to toughen its rhetoric, as it has done in other towns where inequalities bring social problems to the surface. The figures speak for themselves.</p>]]></description>

Silvia Orriols' party, <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/silvia-orriols-failed-signings-to-eliminate-competition_1_5307207.html" >as already revealed by ARA</a>, attempted to recruit the two visible leaders of the FNC for the Catalan elections, but both the spokesperson in Manresa, Sergi Perramon, and the mayor of La Masó, Albert Camps, declined to be the leaders of the list for Barcelona and Tarragona, respectively. However, with their sights set on the municipal elections, the Catalan Alliance is once again trying to deactivate the FNC in the municipality of La Masó. In this small Tarragona town of 300 inhabitants, Camps won the elections by an absolute majority after convincing the members of the candidacy to run under his name, although<a href="https://es.ara.cat/politica/elecciones-municipales/pueblo-gobernara-ultraderecha-independentista-nadie-lista-sabia-front-nacional_1_4728054.html">None of them knew what the National Front of Catalonia was.</a>.</p>]]></description>

Joan Moreno, the head of the Rodem list, an independent party born from a split from Junts, will hand over his council seat to Marina Quintana, the second-placed candidate on the list. This is not just another important change. Quintana has been the new president of the Catalan Alliance in Osona since November. And in Tírvia, in Pallars Sobirà, the only Junts councilor, Ramon Porta, was expelled from Sílvia Orriols's party in the race. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/first-territorial-crisis-in-alianca-catalana_1_5314988.html" >for control of the direction in the Pyrenean regions</a>, has just joined the National Front of Catalonia (FNC). The far-right thus adds two new representatives to the local councils.</p>]]></description>

The migration phenomenon and disenchantment with the pro-independence parties due to the paralysis of the Process have provided the perfect breeding ground for Silvia Orriols's party to enter the Catalan parliament after winning the mayoralty of Ripoll and gaining significant popularity. The Catalan Alliance has become the leading figure in this space, but has failed to unite the pro-independence far-right, which is divided into various minority parties and organizations. But who is who in the xenophobic pro-independence network?</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>
