Entire Junts Municipal Group in Cambrils Joins Aliança Catalana; Enric Daza Named 2027 Mayoral Candidate

The move relies on a 2023 list-registration technicality that permits a mid-term change of affiliation, boosting Aliança Catalana’s local reach ahead of the 2027 municipal elections.

Overview

  • The three councillors who had sat with Junts in Cambrils officially integrated into Aliança Catalana in a public event on Monday, with party officials presenting Enric Daza as their candidate for mayor in 2027.
  • Laura Mellau and Teresa Recasens joined Daza in the switch, which party sources say is possible because the 2023 candidacy was registered as 'Compromís per Cambrils' rather than under the Junts name.
  • Oliver Klein of Nou Moviment Ciutadà remains the town’s mayor and the change does not alter the current municipal government composition during this mandate.
  • Aliança has framed the recruitment as territorial growth and a boost to its municipal strategy, and the party’s rise in CEO polling gives the move wider regional significance.
  • Coverage differs on tone and risk: some outlets highlight Aliança’s growth and policy focus on security and tourism while others label the party with far-right descriptors, a split that could shape coalition politics and voter perceptions before 2027.
