Parish council promotes internal legal technician Laia Alonso Puig to replace Laura Camps, who joined the

La Massana parish council has appointed Laia Alonso Puig, a technician in its legal department since March last year, as its new general secretary to replace Laura Camps.

The move promotes internal talent amid the sudden departure of Camps, who took up the role of Secretary of State for Economy, Work and Housing under Minister Conxita Marsol just days ago. Camps had served as La Massana's general secretary since the start of Cònsol Major Eva Sansa's term, succeeding Mònica Roigé. She previously worked alongside Marsol at Andorra la Vella parish council and is now replacing Jordi Puy in the national position; Puy, a former general secretary at Andorra la Vella, currently acts as chief of staff to the head of government.

With Sansa's mandate nearing its end, the Ciutadans Compromesos majority chose to elevate Alonso from within after considering various options. The parish sought a lawyer to lead the role, and sources praised Alonso as a capable young professional whose recent time in the legal team has familiarised her with the parish's operations, though she will need to gain experience in this senior administrative position.

A University of Barcelona law graduate, Alonso spent six years and nine months in MoraBanc's legal advisory team following a brief internship. She later pursued postgraduate studies in Andorran law, along with specialisations in banking law and financial markets law—areas tied to her banking career. She is now undertaking training in public procurement.

As with Camps and most parish general secretaries, Alonso—a technically neutral figure overseeing the parish's administrative services—will handle core duties internally while drawing on external law firms for specialised matters. The appointment awaits formal approval at next week's council session, unless unforeseen changes arise.
