Ernest Urtasun will form a tandem with Ada Colau and will be the candidate of the Frente Amplio in Catalonia

The Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, will be number 2 of the Comuns-Front Ampli candidacy for the Barcelona district. This was approved yesterday afternoon by the national council of the Comuns, which met in an extraordinary manner to make this appointment and to ratify the different agreements that have been sealed in various territories of the State with the rest of the alternative left forces.

In this way, Urtasun will form a tandem with Ada Colau, who will lead the Frente Amplio list for the Barcelona constituency. Given that Colau is the space candidate - who will appear this Saturday at noon at an event in Madrid after the closing of the deadline to register the coalitions - for the presidency of the Government, this will lead her to hold events throughout the State throughout the 15 days of the campaign, so the head of the Ministry of Culture will assume a good part of the coalition campaign in Catalonia.

The forecast is that it will be Ernest Urtasun who will participate in the debates with the other heads of the list in Barcelona. It is the first time that Urtasun participates in a general election and, predictably, he will make his debut as a deputy in Congress in the legislature that begins after the elections on November 29.

After the former mayor of Barcelona and the Minister of Culture, Aina Vidal could be placed, who was the head of the Comuns Sumar list in the electoral contest of July 23, 2023. She then managed to place the space as the second force in Catalonia, with 14% of the votes and seven seats. They achieved five minutes for Barcelona, ​​one for Girona and the other for Tarragona.
