Liberals announce plan to run with Acció and Ciutadans Compromesos; CC insists cooperation is limited

Liberals d’Andorra signalled on Monday that they intend to stand in the next general election in alliance with Acció and Ciutadans Compromesos (CC), likely organised as an electoral platform. The announcement followed the party’s congress, which also endorsed a continuation ticket for the leadership under Cristina Rico.

At the Liberals’ meeting delegates unanimously approved a political cooperation agreement with CC and gave majority backing — with one dissenting vote — to begin a rapprochement with Acció. Party officials described the move as a step toward a lasting collaboration and left open the possibility that Demòcrates per Andorra (DA) could join a future platform.

Liberals said the goal is to re-establish a distinct liberal option in Andorran politics and to build an alliance that other centre‑right forces could join. The party confirmed Cristina Rico as president and named Víctor Pintos — who recently joined CC’s parliamentary group — as second vice‑president in the new executive.

Ciutadans Compromesos held its own congress shortly afterwards and formally validated the parliamentary arrangement that incorporated Víctor Pintos as a member of CC’s group until the current legislature ends. But the party’s president, Jordi Verdaguer, cautioned that the understanding with Liberals is limited in scope: he described it as a document that reflects Pintos’s move into CC’s ranks and said it does not amount to a wider, long‑term electoral pact.

Verdaguer emphasised that CC has not entered into talks with Acció and that it is too early to discuss alliances for the 2027 election. He added that the party’s preferred partner remains Demòcrates per Andorra — the principal centre‑right force that currently supports Xavier Espot’s government — and that CC will re‑examine any coalition arrangements once DA has chosen its candidate for head of government.
