Demòcrates, a Christian-Democrat pro Independence party, yesterday joined the unitary list of Junts per Catalunya (Together for Catalonia, JxCat). Junts per Catalunya and Demòcrates have closed an agreement to run together in the 14-F elections “with the aim of making the mandate of the 1-O ” (October First 2017 Referendum when Catalonia voted for Independence).

Thus, the electoral list of Junts i Demòcrates will be headed in Barcelona by Carles Puigdemont followed by the presidential candidate Laura Borràs, and Demòcrates will provide six candidates, led by Assumpció Laïlla –which will be number 16– as co-spokesman of the party and is in line with the female candidacy that represents Laura Borràs.In the last elections Demòcrates was allied of the former pro independence party ERC but it has changed towards a pro Spanis bias the last two years under a new direction subdued to the Spanish ruling parties.
