A REPORT ABOUT THE CATALAN PROCESS. Ignasi M. (2n BATX A)

Imagine you're asked about what has happened in Catalonia

These last few months have been quite strange, especially since the 27th of September, when Catalonia made its general election to the parliament. In this elections, two of the most important political parties of Catalonia submitted together.

This alliance, called Junts Pel Sí, won the elections, but couldn't obtain the majority of the parliament, so to take their candidate to lead the government, Junts Pel Sí needed to collaborate with other political parties, such as Ciutadans, Partit Popular de Catalunya or Candidatura d'Unitat Popular, also known as CUP.

CUP was the only political party which was supposed to reach an agreement with Junts Pel Sí, but the negotiations lasted so long, that the possibility of calling people to the polls again started to become real. The day the term to get to an agreement arrived, and Carles Puigdemont ended up being selected as the new president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, as Artur Mas, the outgoing president, stepped aside to keep alive the catalan process, which is supposed to end with Catalonia becoming a new country.

Now it's Carles Puigdemont's time, and as Junts Pel Sí 's waybill says, he has eighteen months to reach independence, what a huge responsibility.
