One of the issues that Junts will have to address in the face of the next municipal elections is what relationship it wants to have with Aliança Catalana, Sílvia Orriols' party, which polls predict exponential growth at the expense, precisely, of the Junts supporters. This Monday, the day after winning the Barcelona primaries, Jordi Martí has left the door open to talk to the far-right party. "We are not closed to talking to anyone, except for non-democratic forces that are at the antipodes of our party," he stated in an interview with SER Catalunya. Regarding whether Aliança is a democratic force, Martí said yes. "If it runs in the elections and people vote for it. We will see what its political program is," he added.

Junts' primaries in Barcelona are at a key point to choose the candidate for mayor among the four mayoral candidates, all of whom live in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, a key area for Carles Puigdemont's party in the municipal elections. The choice is between the current municipal leader, Jordi Martí; the first secretary of the table and deputy, Glòria Freixa; the deputy in Congress Pilar Calvo, or the lawyer and former deputy Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas – the only one who lives in Sarrià; the others live in El Putxet, although Calvo is a member of the Eixample district, where she also used to live. The race has the decisive debate this Friday afternoon before the militants can vote in a process that will end with the publication of the results on Sunday evening.

The Junts maelstrom in Barcelona continues. The debate to find a mayoral candidate to replace Xavier Trias... who said goodbye to the council It's been a year and a half, and the decision is still not finalized, although the party leadership makes no secret of its preference for one of the current councilors. According to ARA, the option of recruiting last-minute candidates has been ruled out after receiving some rejections, and the candidacy of the party's spokesperson and vice president, Josep Rius, is gaining considerable ground as the clear favorite. However, Jordi Martí, the leader of the municipal group, handpicked by Trias, hasn't thrown in the towel. Rius is the best positioned in the eyes of the leadership, according to multiple sources, but the main objective is to "reach a consensus" and "avoid primaries," which would only be called in the event of a major conflict. The name, therefore, "is between Rius and Martí," says a council source, because the option of bringing in someone from outside the party "hasn't taken hold." In this sense, under the leadership's auspices, there are ongoing "conversations" involving the two potential candidates. The objective of these contacts, which have not yet yielded anything concrete, is to avoid a public "confrontation." How? With their commitment "not to call primaries until there is an agreement or a definitive break" between both sides—implying that, had they understood, the votes would have been avoided, although this now seems a distant prospect. Rius is the frontrunner, and in fact, Puigdemont has a particular fondness for him, according to several sources, but he will achieve his goal "provided everything is done calmly." "Nobody wants to go to war," they say.
