• Opinion The bedroom talks of Elsa Artadi, Puigdemont's campaign manager

"I'm leaving active politics. Here, in Parliament and in the party's governing bodies, which will continue to be my party because this is a personal decision."

With these words, Elsa Artadi (45), deputy, councilor of the Barcelona City Council and Junts per Catalunya candidate for the municipal elections of May 2023, said goodbye to politics on May 6 with tears

and it has come to me now, I feel bad, but it is the right decision from honesty", he added. The "no puc més" of Artadi, Puigdemont's right hand, arrives in full internal pulse in JxCat for the renewal of the direction , at the congress scheduled for June 4, when the party will have to elect the substitutes for Carles Puigdemont as president and Jordi Sànchez as general secretary.

LOC turned Elsa Artadi into one of its muses, even before the independence movement itself did.

Catalan politics has inspired some of the pages of this supplement as a symbol of radical chic and revolutionary living in the best area of ​​Barcelona.

And the contradictions

and imperfections of Artadi that converge in all public (and anonymous) life have also

An example: in 2017 President Puigdemont appointed her campaign manager in the 21-D elections, despite the fact that during the intervention of the Generalitat by the Rajoy Government, Artadi acted as the efficient official who was at the service of Spain applying 155. Elsa has been pointed out on multiple occasions

An eternal second place that was never first and that left

the most dedicated student of the procès

Artadi, raised in the Sarriá neighborhood, made it clear that the revolution could be made from the

Diagonal and wrapped in a Moncler down jacket, far from the bangs that divide the forehead in two and from the Catalan perroflautismo.

Her blonde streaks stood out even above the shine of the yellow bows and

that contrasted with the ferocious political animal she intended to become.

She was the image of a nerd who had studied at a private school, Economics at Pompeu i Fabra and had earned a doctorate at Harvard thanks to a scholarship from La Caixa.

She had even taught in Italy, at the Bocconi University, and she married for the first time Alberto Arraut, nephew of Xavier Trias.

he was in charge of "covering" the wedding, from which Artadi had to be absent due to indisposition.

The marriage did not work out and she Elsa tried again with the tax attorney Heribert Padrol, to whom she is still attached.

The couple has no children and lives a quiet life with summers in Sitges and winters in La Cerdanya.

Radical nationalism landed in his comfortable and discreet life when he crossed paths with the economist Xavier Sala i Martín, his mentor.

In 2011, Mas-Colell signed Elsa as an advisor to the Department of Economics that he directed.

Later, she gained more notoriety during the Government of Artur Mas.

And she, with her Puigdemont, she became, as we mentioned earlier, to be campaign manager in the 21-D elections.

However, she now "can't take it anymore, she doesn't have the strength to continue".

and his environment relates this abrupt departure to emotional health.

Artadi has "fed up" just as it happened to Simone Biles at the Tokyo Olympics, saving the distances.

Not even yoga, one of his favorite activities and the one that transmits the most peace to those who practice it, has managed to get politics to reverse his decision.

Mental health is above the political projects that independence requires for Artadi.

PUIGDEMONT, HIS SUPPORTER

Beyond personal reasons, Artadi's departure has also had to do with Puigdemont's resignation from the party's presidency.

"He has been left without his main supporter," sources that follow current politics in Catalonia summarize to LOC.

Not surprisingly, Elsa was one of the people who frequently

to give him encouragement and support to move forward.

Likewise, the sources cited above delve into Artadi's candidacy in the next elections.

"According to the internal polls that JxCat manages, the result that Elsa would obtain in her candidacy in the Barcelona municipal elections would not be very good. In addition, she is not very in tune with Laura Borràs, president of the Parliament and a key figure in her party."

All this cocktail of pressure and loss of support has affected Artadi and has contributed to

Not so to his potential as a LOC character, a supplement that will closely follow his next steps.

Goodbye, goodbye, fierce lily.
