The Yes movement in the Catalan Country will be present in the 2026 municipal elections in Perpignan. Jordi Vera, founder of the party, confirms.
“Yes, we will present a Yes list to the Catalan Country for the 2026 municipal elections in Perpignan“, Jordi Vera cannot be clearer in this month of January 2025. The president of the territorial political movement presented his electoral intentions during his wishes, this Saturday January 18, 2025.
If he reveals himself more than a year before the election, “this is so that we are not reproached, later, for playing into the hands of one or the other by going our own way. Their political turmoil, for one or the other, does not interest me”. Because what motivates the instigator of this movement to present his own candidacy is good “the absence of a clear opposition to Louis Aliot”. He justifies: “In 2020, I signed on a list (that of Romain Grau, in ninth position, Editor’s note). In the second round, all possible contenders withdrew their names to stand behind Jean-Marc Pujol, hoping that Louis Aliot does not pass. Finally, Aliot came by. And, five years later, when I see the number of Jean-Marc Pujol’s former running mates who have joined Louis Aliot… it really doesn’t make me want to play their new strategy or alliance games.”.
Bring a clear opposition against Louis Aliot
A Catalanist list, barring an earthquake, should not overthrow the Place de la Loge and dethrone the hypothetical candidate Aliot. Jordi Vera knows it. “But, even if we make 5% it doesn’t matter. The important thing is that we will put forward a real, clear opposition against Louis Aliot of course, but above all in favor of the defense of our Catalan identity.”.
Basically, Jordi Vera protests against the territorial coherence scheme (Scot). He denounces “the decision of elected officials to build 35,000 new homes, that is to say 100,000 more inhabitants, and 30,000 more cars, all in a Catalan country already victim of all the excesses. What about the water deficit, the missing jobs and the road network worthy of the early 1970s?.
-A fervent defender of changing the name of the department, preferring Pays Catalan to Pyrénées-Orientales, he also wants to see this file accelerate. Judging that the president of the Department, leader of the project, “drag the sabates“.
An already busy starting line
For the record, several applicants have already positioned themselves on the starting line for the 2026 municipal elections in Perpignan. Bruno Nougayrède, “natural opponent” who has been sitting opposite Louis Aliot since 2020, has ambitions for 2026. Just like Christophe Euzet, former deputy of the presidential majority in Hérault and university professor in Perpignan. Or even David Bret, current deputy of Stéphane Loda at Canet-en-Roussillon, grandson of Arlette Franco On the left, the strategies are not defined The Perpignan movement otherwise unites. others, the socialist and communist parties They plead for a list of opening towards the center to weigh against Louis Aliot and the Ecologists campaigned to bring together only the forces of the New Popular Front Alliance which, even nationally, has. shattered.
Without forgetting Annabelle Brunet, departmental advisor for Vernet, who is working on developing a project. But remains discreet in recent weeks. Like Agnès Langevine, regional councilor, already a candidate in the 2020 election.
