Key Points

  • Andorra Endavant demands immediate referendum date on EU association agreement.
  • Party condemns government delays as mockery of citizens and breach of democratic obligation.
  • AE highlights eroding institutional trust due to absent timeline and excuses.
  • Calls for action to fulfill public commitment and restore credibility.

Andorra Endavant (AE) has demanded that the government immediately set a date for the referendum on Andorra's association agreement with the European Union, condemning ongoing delays as a blatant insult to the public.

In a statement issued to media outlets on Friday, the party—led by Carine Montaner—described any further postponement as a "mockery" of citizens. AE stressed that the executive made a clear public commitment to submit the agreement to a popular vote, turning the referendum into a "democratic obligation" and a "debt owed to the public."

The parliamentary group pointed to accumulated delays, the absence of a concrete timeline, and repeated official excuses as evidence of eroding institutional credibility. "When a government fails to honour its announcements, it fails not only in management but in the trust granted by citizens," the party warned, highlighting the high institutional cost of such unreliability.

AE dismissed the government's justifications so far, arguing that true governance means fulfilling promises through deeds rather than words. Postponing the vote, they said, effectively undermines a key tool for democratic participation and hollows out the original pledge. "Credibility is built on facts, not speeches," the formation declared, calling for action without delay.
