The election of a new Catalan President will have to wait
All the groups in the Parliament, but ‘Junts Pel Sí', voted this Tuesday against Artur Mas' candidacy for re-election. "We can't be satisfied, we can't be happy with this 'no'" stated Mas, openly referring to the other pro-independence force in the Parliament besides 'Junts Pel Sí', radical left CUP. "I'll be back on Thursday, for the second phase of the vote" he assured. The current president presented this past Monday his roadmap to start building a new Catalan State and highlighted the need to reach an agreement and elect a new government in order to "start the journey" and guarantee that "the process won't be stuck". However, all the Catalan MPs, except for those from cross-party list 'Junts Pel Sí' lamented Mas' "lack of self-criticism" and pointed to the corruption scandals affecting his party, liberal CDC, as a reason to pass him over for the presidency.
