Catalan Solidarity for Independence (
Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya
) towards the issue of independence.
History
It was formed on 20 July 2010 by former
Catalan independence and the creation of a sovereign state for Catalonia.[1][2][3][4][5] It was named after Catalan Solidarity, a political coalition of all pro-Catalan parties which existed between 1906 and 1909.[citation needed
]
Catalan Solidarity for Independence was formed as an
electoral coalition of six political parties (Catalan Democracy, Solidarity for Independence, Catalan Republican Party, The Greens–Green Alternative, Catalunya Nació Independència and Socialist Party of National Liberation) to stand for the 2010 Catalan regional election. Negotiations to incorporate the group Realignment for Independence failed due to a disagreement regarding the compilation of electoral list, and divergence in both tactical and strategic considerations. Its slogans are: "Catalonia the next state of Europe" and "Let's make independence possible". Various public figures supported the movement, for example Hèctor López Bofill, Toni Strubell, Isabel-Clara Simó, Carles Solà and Josep Guia
.
In the 2010 Catalan election, it won 3.28% of the vote and 4 deputies in the Parliament of Catalonia, among them the three co-founders. Three were elected in the constituency of Barcelona, and one in the constituency of Girona. In 2011, the party's co-founder Joan Laporta left the group. The new party leader was Alfons López Tena.
