The attempts of the socialist direction to prevent the process have been in vain.
The former Minister of Justice last tripartite and one of the best figures valoracin, Terracotta warriors, PSC, Montserrat Tura, confirmed yesterday that it intended to dispute the current mayor of Barcelona, Jordi Hereu, the application to the Catalan capital. The first mayor of the city, under heavy pressure from his party to withdraw to the MISP prospects augur survey, collected the prize at stake. Habr as primary expected to conclude within a month.
Hereu, mortal gold, Tura and brought before the membership by ensuring that in no case are not the official candidates of the address, which in the case of Mayor Jordi Hereu is an obvious affirmation. Although yesterday denied that he had asked for his resignation EXPRESS way, the pressures that have been submitted by the first secretary, Jose Montilla, have been, allods gold, strong. Today both took reunirn again.
Polls catastrficas
Polls announcing a catastrophe for the PSC if the candidate is on Wednesdays Hereu-filtered even the PP-ahead pruning led to the direction of the party to encourage the nomination of Former Minister of Justice. She said that they have not pushed it and that the direction est not very happy about the step taken. In any case, Nicaragua street that they trust an incumbent Mayor reconsider. Although nuances-mayor Jordi Hereu is repeated in Barcelona Madrileo episode in which the direction of the PSOE Trinidad threw Jimnez to dispute the Gmez Toms made. Gan in the last primary. Hereu, knowing that he is not the official candidate, called on his party the most strict neutrality.
If Hereu not the nice features of the national address, Tura is a candidate against the direction of the Federation of Barcelona the PSC, which does not even belong: Think even further registered in Mollet del Valls, a town which for years was mayor.

Tura, which says a healthy ambition to move against those who accuse her of having too much lust for power, said she had appeared to regain the enthusiasm I have lost the locals. Pick up the thread with Europe against a Hereu focused only on the policies of proximity, YMS order in the streets are for the time axes. To convince first a militancy that moves between loyalty to Hereu and the feeling that with the current mayor, dat is certain.
Although the tone of the statements of both yesterday's confrontation est being white collar, some evidence suggests that, of course, the hostilities will break out. The filtration of the internal inquiry by giving Hereu behind Xavier Trias and Alberto Fernandez is a clue. Neither country ignored the Hereu ALUSIN of that for me Barcelona is an end in itself, sliding in the case of Montserrat Tura, whom many see more high ambitions, may not If so.
