Junts municipal group in Cambrils defects entirely to Aliança Catalana

The entire municipal political group of Junts in Cambrils, Tarragona, has defected to Aliança Catalana. Enric Daza, the former Junts spokesperson in the City Council, will now be Aliança Catalana's candidate for mayor in the 2027 local elections. This move signifies a complete integration of the Junts municipal team into Sílvia Orriols' party, effective from the current term.

Sources from Aliança Catalana indicate that the transition is technically feasible because the list was registered under the name "Compromís per Cambrils," not directly as Junts. However, the municipal group consistently used the "Junts per Cambrils" brand during the campaign and afterward.

This is not the first political controversy involving Daza in Cambrils. Earlier in 2025, the then-mayor Alfredo Clúa (PSC) removed him from the municipal government due to "lack of respect" and disputes. While the other two councilors were not expelled, they chose to leave the local executive three days later. The current mayor is Oliver Klein of Nou Moviment Ciutadà, who took office after Clúa resigned shortly after Junts' departure, opting to remain a councilor.

Recent polling data suggests a significant shift in local political power. Aliança Catalana, despite holding only two seats currently, is projected to solidify its position in third place, potentially securing between 23 and 25 representatives. This projection would relegate Junts per Catalunya to fourth place, with an anticipated loss of nearly half its representation, falling to between 16 and 18 seats.
