Rarely has Gabriel Rufián, spokesperson for the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC) in Congress, been so clear as this Wednesday about the debate on the unity of the left that he himself opened a few months ago. “If I can help there be a confluence, a unifying collaboration to maximize electoral results for the sovereigntist and Spanish forces with me being the head of the list, then pa’lante“, said the Catalan deputy in a colloquium organized by the Club Siglo XXI in Madrid. A proposal that he repeated throughout the talk: “It is time for the sovereignist left to drag and inspire the Spanish left. If my presence can help, I am willing.” The politician does not have the approval of his party for this possible candidacy.
