Ordino Consuls Set EU Deal and Planning Red Lines for Alliances

The two consuls of Ordino have set out red lines for any future electoral alliance, though the parish's ruling group says it has not yet decided its strategy for the next general election.

Maria del Mar Coma, the major consul, said during Thursday's Consell de Comú session that she would not join a candidacy opposed to the association agreement with the European Union. She stressed that this was her personal position and that Acció Comunal d'Ordino (ACO) has not defined its electoral approach, according to El Periòdic. "I don't think I would go into a party that doesn't want the association agreement," she said, citing the work of her political area's territorial councillors in the General Council in support of the deal with Brussels. Asked whether she had other conditions for joining a platform, she replied: "For now, no."

Eduard Betriu, the minor consul, added a second condition: respect for the urban development model ACO defends in the parish. He cited the group's record of limiting construction volume and protecting the territory, warning that ACO could not support a political colour lacking that sensitivity. Preserving the land and pursuing balanced growth, he said, are non-negotiable principles for the group.

Coma said ACO has held no internal meetings to decide which formations it might run with, and that the parish committee is waiting to see how committees form within Demòcrates and how a possible multi-party platform takes shape. "If we want to present candidates, we also have to know who we should go with and who we shouldn't," she said.

The positioning is significant given Demòcrates' interest in bringing in Virtus, the new party linked to Ordino and presided over by Josep Duró, one of the strongest critics of the parish's urban plan revision. Coma said there had been no contact between ACO and Virtus. "They haven't come to see us, so we don't know anything more. We only know what you in the press say," she said, while acknowledging she knows some of its members personally.

Enric Dolsa, from the communal minority, has not ruled out standing for election again.
