Subsequently, from 2007 to 2010 Uriel Bertran, together with [[Elisenda Paluzie]], Héctor López Bofill, and Pilar Dellunde, led a line of thought within the ERC dubbed ''Esquerra Independentista'' (''Independentist Left''). This internal movement proposed change to the party's strategy in an effort to be more consistent with its Pro-[[Catalan independence movement|Independence]], [[Republicanism|Republican]], and [[Left-wing politics|Left-wing]] ideology. Their main objective was to revitalize the ERC after repeated electoral declines.

He ran again in the 2006 Catalan election and was again elected Deputy.[citation needed]

But, the loss of votes in these and in the subsequent 2007 Spanish local elections in addition to the lack of political ambition of the "Second Tripartite" pushed him to lead an internal movement within the ERC. The movements manifesto was made public June 5, 2007: it demanded the beginning of the process to call a national referendum on the Independence of Catalonia and the convening of the party's National Congress to debate the project. Joan Puigcercós forced him to resign from the leadership of the ERC immediately.[citation needed]

In December 2009, Bertran was an organizer and spokesperson for a symbolic referendum vote on the question of Catalan independence.[11]

Subsequently, from 2007 to 2010 Uriel Bertran, together with Elisenda Paluzie, Héctor López Bofill, and Pilar Dellunde, led a line of thought within the ERC dubbed Esquerra Independentista (Independentist Left). This internal movement proposed change to the party's strategy in an effort to be more consistent with its Pro-Independence, Republican, and Left-wing ideology. Their main objective was to revitalize the ERC after repeated electoral declines.

Catalan solidarity for independence

[edit]

In July 2010, he created, along with Joan Laporta and Alfons López Tena, the political party Catalan Solidarity for Independence (SI).[12] All of the founders ran as SI candidates in the 2010 Catalan parliamentary election.[1][3] This included Bertran, who was elected a Deputy for Barcelona, once again. At that time, he officially ceased being an ERC member.[citation needed] He was the General Secretary of SI.[13]

He left the leadership of SI in 2022, but remained in the party and its activities.[14]

Assemblea Nacional Catalana

[edit]

In 2022, Uriel Bertran joined the organization Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC), a pro-independence advocacy group/movement, and was elected the National Secretariat of the organization.[14]

2023-2024 vice presidential run

[edit]

Bertran ran a campaign for the 2024 election of the ANC's vice president, but withdrew before the election in the name of stability, remaining in his position.[15][16]
