The local executive board of Esquerra Republicana in Girona resigned this Monday, February 16, to prevent a no-confidence motion led by members aligned with the mayoral candidate.

The resignation highlights a deep rift between supporters of Marc Puigtió, who is backed by Oriol Junqueras, and the faction led by Àdam Manyé. The outgoing board claims the motion against them lacked 'transparency and democratic guarantees' and refused to legitimize the process.

"Esquerra Republicana does not belong to any individual, but to its members."
