Junts pel Sí (IPA: [ʒuns pəɫ si]; English: Together for Yes, JxSí)[1] was a Catalan political alliance and parliamentary group focused on achieving the independence of Catalonia from Spain. First standing in the 2015 Catalan regional election, it was composed of the Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC), the Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), Democrats of Catalonia (DC) and the Left Movement (MES).[2] The Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP) had been invited to participate in the alliance, but refused to do so and ran on its own instead.

The coalition was led by Raül Romeva, PhD in international relations and former eco-socialist MEP; Carme Forcadell, a linguist and former president of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC); Muriel Casals, economist and former president of Òmnium Cultural; President of the Generalitat of Catalonia and CDC leader Artur Mas and ERC leader Oriol Junqueras.

It formed a minority government since the 2015 election with confidence and supply support from the CUP, it was responsible for organising the 2017 Catalan independence referendum. On 4 November 2017, ERC chose not to rejoin JxSí ahead of the 2017 Catalan regional election.[3]

History

Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC), Republican Left of Catalonia (ERC), Democrats of Catalonia (DC) and Left Movement (MES) agreed by mid-July 2015 to run together under the Junts pel Sí (English: Together for Yes) joint separatist list, with support from the pro-independence Catalan National Assembly (ANC), Òmnium Cultural and the Association of Municipalities for Independence (AMI).[4] Artur Mas was appointed as JxSí presidential candidate, even though he would be placed in fourth place in the electoral ticket as a result of balance of power negotiations between ERC and CDC.[5] Instead, the first three positions in the list were to be filled by three independent figures: Raül Romeva, a former European MP for Initiative for Catalonia Greens who had left the party for not supporting independence; Carme Forcadell, former ANC president; and Muriel Casals, Òmnium chairwoman. Oriol Junqueras would follow after Mas, in fifth place.[6][7]

The coalition was thus scheduled to comprise the ruling centre-right CDC; its supporting centre-left partner in Parliament, ERC; as well as DC and MES, pro-independence splits from Democratic Union of Catalonia (UDC) and the Socialists' Party of Catalonia (PSC), respectively; as well as members from separatist sectors of the civil society.[8] The Popular Unity Candidacy (CUP), which had also participated in the negotiations to form the unitary list, eventually refused on the grounds that "it was formed by politicians"—in reference to CDC and ERC's strong presence in the coalition's lists—and decided to run separately.[9]
