Coalición por una Europa Solidaria (Spanish) Europa Solidarioaren Aldeko Koalizioa (Basque) Coalición por unha Europa Solidaria (Galician) Coalició per una Europa Solidària (Catalan)
The Basque, Catalan and Galician nationalist parties maintained a long alliance in the elections to the European Parliament, which began in 2004 with the Galeusca–Peoples of Europe coalition.[6] In the 2014 European elections, the Basque Nationalist Party, Convergence of Catalonia a federation formed by Convergència and Democratic Union of Catalonia and Commitment to Galicia formed the Coalition for Europe candidacy, along with other peripheral nationalist parties such as the Canary Coalition.[7]
Formation of the candidacy
On March 15, 2018, the Canarian Coalition (CC-PNC) and the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) announced a commitment to repeat their electoral alliance for the European elections the following year.[8]
On January 15, 2019, David Bonvehí, president of the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT), successor party to Democratic Convergence of Catalonia, also announced a coalition agreement with the Basque Nationalist Party for the European elections,[9] while endorsing Jordi Turull, politician imprisoned by the Catalan independence process, as hypothetical head of the list.[10] This announcement was replicated by CC, which opposed the entry of the PDeCAT into the coalition, due to the pro-independence positions of the Catalan party.[11] The final break between PNV and PDeCAT occurred after it was announced that Carles Puigdemont would lead a candidacy for the European Parliament.[12] On March 21, the PNV issued a statement ruling out the coalition with the PDeCAT, considering that they proposed an "exclusively Catalan candidacy." Some political analysts also linked the rupture to the ideological differences between the more moderate positions of the Basque nationalists and Puigdemont.[13][14] The Catalan party United to Advance, successor to the defunct Democratic Union of Catalonia, partner of the previous European coalitions, negotiated its entry into this list and, although it finally ruled it out, created a platform to support the candidacy.[15]Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida, historical leader of Union of Catalonia and member of United to Advance, requested a vote for the coalition promoted by the PNV.[16]
On May 6, 2019, the candidacy was officially presented, under the name of the Coalition for a Europe of Solidarity (CEUS). Representatives of all the coalition forces (PNV, CC-PNC, CxG, GBai, El Pi and DV) participated in the event, held in Bilbao.[17]
