Ciudadanos is a party that has disappeared from the institutions, but remains organically alive. Or so it attempts. With the state leadership renewed at the end of last October under the Leadership of Navarrese Carlos Pérez-Nievas, and with the presence of Catalans such as Mariana BoadellaThe orange party was also expected to push through the leadership renewal in Catalonia, which is being run by a management team headed by former MP Joan Garcia. The regional primaries were due to be held in February, and in fact, in January, ARA already explained that there was only one candidate to lead the project in the Principality. Hector Amelló, former MP and councilor of Figueres originally from the Franja de Ponent region. However, the process has been very tortuous, as party sources admit, and so far it has not been possible to ratify it: there has been no vote among members; it has only been ratified by the party's Guarantees Committee. This has been the case because no one else has put themselves forward to challenge him for leadership: the deadline for submitting candidacies opened on Friday and ended this Monday, and once it was confirmed that there were no other candidates, it wasn't even necessary to open the primaries and vote.
