Significance
The collapse of the Junts-ERC coalition reflects the fragmentation of the pro-independence movement. ERC will now lead a minority government with parliamentary support from a number of smaller parties.
Impacts
Companies seeking to invest in major projects in Catalonia will be encouraged by the increased influence of the business-friendly PSC.
Divisions among left-wing parties mean that Spain’s right-wing parties are likely to lead the next government.
The rise of the far-right Vox and Scotland’s push for independence may help revive momentum for Catalan independence in the next few years.
