In 2010, a group of parents of children who played in the youth team of FC Sant Just and who disagreed with the club's way of doing things decided to leave their town's football team to create another one from scratch. Thus was born Atlético San Justo, which last season was on the verge of promotion to the Third Division of the RFEF and which now, with the children of its founders on the pitch, is making history in the Copa del Rey: last Saturday it won 3-0 against Atlético Calatayud in the first leg of the qualifying round, and if it maintains its lead this weekend will receive a First Division team at the Sant Just Desvern municipal stadium.

At the height of the Catalan Alliance's rise, Sílvia Orriols's party has been recruiting former councilors from Junts and ERC who are dissatisfied with the paralysis of the Catalan Process, but it has also, surprisingly, recruited pro-Spanish parties such as Ciutadans, despite being staunchly pro-independence. This is the case of Kiko Ferrer, who headed the Ciudadanos list in the 2019 municipal elections in Sant Just Desvern and was a councilor for this party. He has also taken photos with Vox activists in this town in Baix Llobregat.
