ANC calls for pro-independence deputies to block Spanish governance

The Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) has issued a position statement regarding the upcoming Spanish elections, arguing that pro-independence deputies in the Congress of Deputies should act as an instrument of democratic confrontation rather than stability.

The organization asserts that parliamentary representation should be used to boycott and politically destabilize the Spanish government unless there is a formal commitment to Catalonia's right to self-determination. Specifically, the ANC advocates for using parliamentary arithmetic to block stable majorities, investitures, and budgets that do not include concrete timelines and legal reforms for self-determination.

The group outlined four primary objectives for independentist representatives: confronting state structures responsible for Catalonia's subordination, denouncing fiscal exploitation and rights violations, blocking government stability, and maintaining the visibility of the national conflict.
