Artur Mas, now 60, saw himself in the last regional elections in Catalonia as head of a government of consensus that should lay the foundations to proclaim secession within a maximum period of eighteen months.
but did not want the CUP, the secessionist party but also anti-system that demanded his head after the last regional elections in Catalonia. They Mas was the candidate of Junts Pel Yes, the electoral alliance between CiU and the secessionist leftists Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC).
His cuts off the -one economic crisis of the elements that fueled the independence movement in the region had earned him the nickname “Artur Scissorhands” and anticapitalist not wanted or painting. then he took the step back and chose Carles Puigdemont, until then mayor of Girona, to succeed in the Palau de la Generalitat in Barcelona.
Puigdemont be one of the heavyweights will not be at the new address But executive proposed for the party, maximum 12 members and below a tandem of him as president and the current spokesman for the Catalan government, Neus Munté, as vice president. Later this month will hold primary elections for the presidential tandem and the executive.
Munté is your bet for a fee that is basically the preparation for succession. When produce is, however, it is unknown. But self-fueling speculation about his tenure. “I do not put limits (as president of the new formation) because I have no political aspirations,” he said a few days ago.
The Catalan leader has yet whether it will be judged or not by the symbolic referendum He held in November 2014 despite having been banned by the Constitutional Court. The investigating judge has commanded de facto to the bench, but has yet to decide the remedy presented.
Do not threaten jail, but he hangs the possibility of disqualification from public office. Seeing him sitting on the bench, supported secessionist dpa sources close to the Catalan government, it could fuel separatist sentiment.
