Barcelona president Ada Colau has said that she has no intention of returning as a candidate in any elections, with her organization Barcelona en Comum beginning major formalities soon. in a declaration to La Vanguardia“I’m not going to represent myself in the primary or the next election. I’m not going to represent myself in local or state government or anyone else,” Colau said.
Barcelona en Como recently revised its code of ethics, limiting the term of office to two years. Before you even mention the legislative branch, you can expand it to three.
Colau, who had been in the Consistorio for many years as an alcaldesa and ocho, and was often in the opposition, could therefore have chosen to remain in the Ayuntamiento for another year, or even longer, for the exception of contemplating new texts.
The party plans to call primaries starting in early 2027, as expected, and choose an electoral tandem that will include at least one woman.
One person who has publicly announced his desire to run in these primaries is Roberto Henriques Higueras, known as Bob Pop, and another name he has dreamed of is Gerardo Pizarello, first secretary of the Congress Bureau, who was part of Barcelona’s municipal government from 2015 to 2019.
