Carles Puigdemont is set to reclaim the presidency of Junts per Catalunya during the party's congress in Calella, Barcelona.

This move marks his return to formal leadership after stepping down in 2022, with Laura Borràs, now convicted of corruption, previously holding the position.

Puigdemont's leadership aims to strengthen Junts as a central force in Catalonia's political landscape, emphasizing independence and challenging the current socialist governance.

The congress will also see Antoni Castellà, a key figure in Puigdemont's past escape from Spain, appointed as one of the party's vice presidents.

This leadership reshuffle is part of a broader strategy to position Junts as a formidable alternative to the ruling socialist party in Catalonia.
