Overview
- The candidate field was finalized on Thursday when Jaume Alonso-Cuevillas registered late to join Jordi Martí, Pilar Calvo and Glòria Freixa in the internal contest.
- Each aspirant must secure endorsements from at least 20% of Junts militants and registered sympathizers by June 11 to qualify for the primary vote.
- If multiple candidates pass the endorsement threshold, the campaigns will move to a telematic vote scheduled for June 20–21.
- The four reflect distinct networks: Jordi Martí is backed by Xavier Trias and the convergent sector, Pilar Calvo draws support from deputies close to Carles Puigdemont, Glòria Freixa has local Sarrià-Sant Gervasi ties and visible parliamentary backers, and Cuevillas enters as an outsider with a high-profile legal background.
- The contested primary shows the leadership failed to impose a single nominee and will decide Junts' direction in Barcelona ahead of the 2027 mayoral race while mobilizing militants whose endorsements will shape which campaigns continue.
