Demòcrates Unveils New Leadership and Four Priority Working Groups

Demòcrates' new leadership team, headed by president Ladislau Baró alongside general secretary Guillem Casal and organisation secretary Maria Martisella, has outlined its core priorities around four main working groups. The party also plans to launch immediate outreach to its seven parish committees, many of which are undergoing restructuring where needed.

The executive held its first full plenary meeting on Thursday afternoon, attended by parish committee representatives. Beyond approving the party's 2025 accounts and 2026 budget, members agreed to launch a fresh phase of work focused on key national issues through dedicated groups on sustainable growth, pension sustainability, culture and identity, and innovation and digitalisation.

These areas, the party states, represent "the major concerns of the country that trouble citizens and demand attention." The leadership aims to address them collaboratively, building on the party's centrist principles and commitment to residents.

Outreach to parish committees will begin shortly, with the goal of gathering their concerns and proposals. Demòcrates emphasised on social media that the project is a collective effort, incorporating new faces, returning members and long-standing figures, all advancing together.

This reorganisation follows the recent election of the triumvirate, signalling a structured push to refresh the party's agenda amid ongoing parish-level changes.
