Jaume Valls is no longer the coordinator of the ANC in Vilassar de Mar. As learned by ARA, the Assembly informed him that he was being dismissed as the entity's top representative in the Maresme town after it was made public that he will be the mayoral candidate for Aliança Catalana. It did so on September 30th, just two days after ARA published that Valls called Sílvia Orriols' party "fascist" when he was secretary of the entity in April 2024. Sources from the Assembly explained that the procedure to dismiss him was already underway and that it was not adopted before the publication of the article because the body responsible for making his removal effective first had to meet. The dismissal was carried out via an email in which he was informed that it was incompatible to be a candidate for a party and at the same time hold a position in the entity, as established by the internal regulations.

Aliança Catalana presented eight new candidates for the municipal elections during the II Municipalist Convention held in Ripoll two Saturdays ago. One of them is Jaume Valls, who will be the mayoral candidate for Vilassar de Mar. An incorporation, to say the least controversial, like other signings made by Sílvia Orriols' party, which never tires of repeating that they do not place “cordons sanitaires for the past” on their candidates and that what prevails is that they share the party's project “here and now”. “People evolve,” she adds when the profile of some list leaders is reproached to her.
