This piece, originally published on August 1, 2025, has been updated this Tuesday, April 7, 2026.Outside of institutions after a free fall that has wiped out the formation, Ciudadanos is once again emerging away from parliaments. The orange party has made a bet in the courts and is appearing as popular prosecution in the two main cases around which politics in the State revolves: the Ábalos case of alleged corruption of the PSOE and the Spanish government, and the case concerning the management of the DANA in the Valencian Country. These are moves calculated to the millimeter that once again catapult the former leader in Catalonia Carlos Carrizosa to the forefront of the scandal of the trading of protected housing in Alicante for people trusted by the PP and municipal officialsthe scandal of the marketing of protected housing in Alicante for people trusted by the PP and municipal officialsaccepted at the end of July last year

Arrimadas, Rivera, or Carrizosa... where are the former glories of Ciudadanos now?

In 2017, Ciutadans rubbed the sky in Catalonia: with 36 deputies, it became the first force in the Parliament and was gaining momentum for the definitive assault on Congress in the 2019 elections. It would be the blow to the repeat election seven months later: the formation went from 57 seats to 10. The party would then fall into a spiral of internal fights and a loss of leadership (with a hostile takeover bid by the PP (including) that have led to the practical disappearance of the institutions. But what has become of the former glories of the orange party?

The PSC has won the elections to the Catalan Parliament with more than 625,000 votes, but has tied at 33 seats with ERC, which collects more than 580,000 votes. The socialists' result is well above the 17 seats they had in 2017. The Salvador Illa operation has worked and has capitalised on the non-independence vote under the PSC umbrella, because the socialists have recovered 16 seats, especially in the metropolitan area, cities where Ciudadanos had won in the last elections. The latter, who were victorious in the 2017 elections, are shrunken on the map: they get only 6 seats, 30 less than in 2017. The setback is unprecedented: Cs has gone from first to seventh force in the hemicycle.
