Renovation of the political system campaign

This election puts an end to the renovation of the political system campaign.

This is the first time that the Occitanian deputies are elected proportionally.

After launching separate candidacies, both parties formed a joint list that was tabled on December 7. This includes first as head of the list President Babou Chkaya, the President of Three Flowers Vicent Branchadell, the Governor and functionary Ivanna Minaïeva and finally the Governor of Sezentrania, Daniel Lee. The purpose of this common list is to create a left-wing pole after the disappearance of the Union of the Left coalition.

Vicent Branchadell is also a candidate in the local election of the representative of Three Flowers in the Vergadering. None of its two parties submit candidates to the Occitanian presidential election, December 2017 which takes place the same day. Also, Esquerra! and Montserrat do not support a candidate in this election and prefer to focus on the legislative. For this legislative election the two parties have published television spots that are broadcast on the Occitanian medias.[1][2]
