Citizens – Party of the Citizenry

Ciutadans was formed in Catalonia in July 2006 in response to the call made in a manifesto by a group of Catalan personalities (among them Albert Boadella, Félix de Azúa and Arcadi Espada), in which they called for a new political force to "address the real problems faced by the general public".

Everywhere else, it remained under 4%, with the worst results in the provinces of Girona (1.69%) and Lleida (1.79%).

In the Catalan elections of 2012, the party gained 7.6% of the vote (274,925 votes) and won nine seats in the Catalan Parliament; all but one of them were elected in the Province of Barcelona.

Only in the Province of Barcelona did C's receive more than 3% of the vote, which is the threshold for parliamentary representation.
