People’s Party: fighting to top Catalonia’s right-wing camp

<p dir="ltr">The Catalan branch of the <a href="../../../../../highlights/item/people-s-party-fighting-to-top-catalonia-s-right-wing-camp">People&rsquo;s Party</a>, or PPC, despite its established base, is expected to finish&nbsp;<strong>near the bottom</strong>&nbsp;of the vote count at the Catalan elections on February 14.&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr"><span>A&nbsp;<strong>right-wing</strong>&nbsp;party, their stance could be described as pro-EU,&nbsp;<strong>conservative</strong>, in support of Christian democracy and Spanish unionism.&nbsp;</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Unsurprisingly, their view regarding Catalan independence is harsh and defined; they are against it and refuse to engage in dialogue on the matter.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Polls put the PP at anything between&nbsp;</span><strong>7 and 9 seats</strong><span>, due to the fall of Ciudadanos, with the latest CIS survey placing PPC below both Vox and far-left CUP; seeing them take only 5.8% of the vote. Fern&aacute;ndez&rsquo;s political force could only play any role in governance if the pro-independence bloc does not retain their majority.</span></p> / ACN
