Posted: Fri Sep 28, 2018 6:13 am
Iolanda Abreu Galán, the Ministry of Education and Culture, announced the formation of a new political party: Esquerra Republicana de Caille (ERC). The main objective of the party is to be the platform for the voice, aspirations, and needs of the Caillean people. She said the party would also represent and defend the rights of all Cailleans regardless of race and religion as stipulated in the Constitution. Abreu said that “we are expecting to recruit at least 5,000 members in the firsts weeks and hoping to recruit at least 50,000 members nationwide within three years.”
ERC is the fraternal party of the UDRC, acting as the latter's Caillean branch. As part of an agreement between both parties, the UDRC will not run in any elections in the Caillean Electoral Districts and the Caillean UDRC was dissolved. ERC will be on the same national ticket as the UDRC at the national elections. The national Deputies and Senators elected as part of ERC’s ticket are part of the UDRC Parliamentary Group. Also, ERC members are eligible for national leadership positions in the UDRC.
ERC has also forged an electoral alliance with many smaller political parties that defend the right of self-determination while campaigning for the region to remain in Egelion. Moreover, a coalition of representatives from prominent civil society groups and independent candidates was accepted into the new party.
