CUP’s base fails to reach decision on Mas investiture
Pro-independence radical left CUP’s General Assembly, set up to vote on current President Mas’ investiture, ended in a tie. 1,515 participants opted for rejecting Mas’ candidature and continuing negotiating until the 9th of January and 1,515 supported cross-party list ‘Junts Pel Sí’s proposal, including Mas’ investiture. CUP’s number one, Antonio Baños, defined the Assembly’s tie as “a challenge” rather than a problem. “‘Junts Pel Sí’ has the opportunity to make another proposal, as that which is laid on the table doesn’t have majoritarian support” stated CUP MP Anna Gabriel. However, ‘Junts Pel Sí’s top member, Raül Romeva, insisted on Mas’ candidature as “the proposal is still valid”. CUP’s Political Board will meet on Saturday to decide the next step and if there is not an agreement by the 9th of January, new elections will be called automatically.
