- What is threatening the stability of the Catalan government?
- The Catalan government's stability is threatened by the leadership crises within the comunes and ERC parties, both crucial for supporting the PSC's minority government.
- What is the impact of the leadership changes within the comunes party?
- Ada Colau and Jéssica Albiach's departures from the comunes' leadership, leaving Candela López and Gemma Tarafa in charge, will likely hinder negotiations with the PSC.
- What is the situation regarding ERC's leadership and its implications?
- ERC's leadership race, with Oriol Junqueras and Xavier Godàs as frontrunners, could extend until mid-December, delaying the approval of the budget.
- What is Illa's approach to the situation and what potential challenges might arise?
- While Illa urges both parties to proceed with budget negotiations regardless of their internal processes, ERC's new leader's approval will be crucial, potentially leading to tougher conditions if Junqueras wins.
- How are the internal processes of the comunes and ERC affecting the budget approval timeline?
- The delayed resolutions within comunes and ERC are jeopardizing the PSC's aim of approving the budget by January 1st, forcing a potential shift in strategy.
