History

At the beginning of March 2024, Jordi Graupera and Clara Ponsatí announced that on 23 April 2024 they would present a new pro-independence political proposal in the Catalan political environment at the Teatre Borràs in Barcelona, with a view to running in the elections to the Parliament of Catalonia which were scheduled for February 2025.[2] The scheduling of elections for 12 May 2024 by Catalan President Pere Aragonès has accelerated the process of party creation.[3] The press conference presenting the proposal was attended by Clara Ponsatí, Jordi Graupera, Ada Ferrer and Anna Punsoda, group promoting the party.[4]

To be able to stand in the elections, they need 5,703 signatures, divided by demarcations: 4,243 in Barcelona, 596 in Tarragona, 546 in Girona and 317 in Lleida.[5] The promoters of the project asked for volunteers for the signature collection process.[6] On 2 April 2024, they confirmed that they already had the necessary signatures.[7]
