In the last municipal elections, Aliança Catalana, making its debut, only ran in three towns, and in all three—Ripoll, Manlleu, and Ribera de Ondara—it won seats. However, in the latter two towns, the lead candidates are no longer councilors. The leadership distanced itself after various controversies and disagreements. They were right, then, about where to field candidates, but not about choosing the right ones to lead them.

In the first nine-way debate in the history of TV3, the candidates sought to challenge the candidates on opposite sides of the aisle, but also those with whom they are competing for voters. The presence of the far right muddied the discussion, which at times turned into gibberish.
