Change of candidate a few months before the elections. Ciudadanos, the most voted party in the last Catalan elections, puts the current leader of its parliamentary group, Carlos Carrizosa, at the head of its candidacy for the next regional elections, to the detriment of Lorena Roldán who a few months ago was appointed to head the list of the orange formation to the Parlament. In this way, Carrizosa is running as a candidate to preside over the Generalitat despite the fact that he could jump as 'number 1' if the intention of the orange party to create a "joint candidacy that guarantees that not a single vote is lost due to coexistence and democracy and that the alliance between separatists can be won at the polls. "

To do this, they want to talk with other forces such as the PSC, which has already rejected the proposal outright, and the PP, which is studying it despite the fact that a year ago the 'popular' wanted to go together with Cs in a list just as they did. in the elections of the Basque Country. Cs wants this possible joint candidacy to be headed by someone who has the support of civil society, although in its permanent commission they pointed out that it should hold "exclusively public office in Catalonia, so that it cannot be identified as a candidate for acronyms and blur any idea of partisanship, thus facilitating the future constitutional coalition. "

For this reason, and "given the seriousness of the situation, which makes this union of the constitutionalists more necessary than ever," Cs sets aside Roldán, who is the spokesperson for Citizens in the Senate and is also the deputy national spokesperson for the Orange Executive Committee, to to admit Carrizosa while waiting for the conversations with other parties to bear fruit in view of the "transversality effort that the situation requires."

"The party thanks Roldán for his dedication and his personal and political commitment to the Ciudadanos project and the work carried out especially in Catalonia as a spokesperson and candidate for the orange formation in said territory. The political situation at the national level, marked by the pandemic of Covid-19 requires that the current candidate, Lorena Roldán, focus on her important responsibilities as a spokesperson for Cs in the Senate and as a deputy national spokesperson for the Executive Committee, "the party says. They recall that Roldán "will maintain its prominent presence in the candidacy, will actively participate in the electoral campaign due to its great added value and will continue as a spokesperson in the Parliament."

In addition, they point out that the decision has been taken "for cases of political, economic and health exceptionality, such as the one that our country is going through. Both Lorena Roldán and Carlos Carrizosa coincide in putting the interests of the Catalan constitutionalists above all else and aspire to add forces for a constitutionalist candidacy led by Ciudadanos ".

From now on Cs "will intensify the conversations and contacts with the rest of the constitutionalist formations" before "the seriousness of the situation in Catalonia, with a president about to be disqualified by the Justice, with a nationalist government installed in the confrontation and absent in the management of an unprecedented crisis and with the threat that separatism may return to rule after eventual elections, the holding of which will be set exclusively in the interests of the separatist agenda. "
