Catalan National Assembly Renews Its Direction


Elisenda Paluzie was reelected as president of the Catalan National Assembly (Assemblea Nacional Catalana, ANC) on Saturday after the pro-independence group held an election to renew its top leadership positions. Paluzie got 6.078 votes, around 85% of the ballots cast.

One of Catalonia's most influential pro-independence grassroots groups, the ANC first elected Paluzie after its former president, Jordi Sànchez, was imprisoned for his role in the 2017 bid to hold a referendum and separate from Spain.

As head of the ANC, Paluzie has repeatedly criticized Catalonia's ruling pro-independence parties for not being more confrontational with Spanish authorities.
