JxCat: Puigdemont’s party with three candidates running from prison

The party led by exiled former president Carles Puigdemont was forced to forge its own path for the December 2017 Catalan elections after Esquerra Republicana rejected to continue standing as a united front under the guise of Junts pel Sí, which had governed Catalonia up until the dissolution of the Catalan government after the independence referendum, the declaration of independence, and the subsequent imposition of direct rule from Madrid. / ACN
