ERC and Podemos form alliance for Spanish general elections
Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC) has entered into a collaboration agreement with Podemos for the upcoming general elections. This alliance has drawn scrutiny due to past criticisms made by ERC politician Gabriel Rufián regarding Podemos.
Historical records show that Rufián previously used social media to mock the party, once comparing it to the Lerroux party and labeling it 'PSOE 2.0'. The political relationship between the two groups has been historically strained, particularly following the 2015 elections in Catalonia where the 'En Comú Podem' brand saw significant success, creating friction within the independence movement.
Despite this history, Rufián is set to participate in joint campaign rallies with the formation led by Irene Montero during the November election cycle.
