After the pro-independence movement went from 23 MPs and 14 senators in the last Spanish elections —37 members between the two chambers— to 14 MPs —on Friday, after the final count, we will know if there are even fewer— and 4 senators —18 members between the Congress and the Senate— the only statement heard from Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya’s (ERC) and Junts per Catalunya’s headquarters was about the need to form a united front in Madrid.
I am not against this initiative, since I wish they were capable of agreeing on something substantive, but I believe —the results make this clear— that they have not understood anything of what happened to them last Sunday. They went from 37 to 18 MPs, which means they lost over half of them, and they have hardly batted an eyelid.
