The mayor of Figueres, Jordi Masquef, surprised attendees at the Santa Creu Fairs with a DJ set, an event that has opened a debate about his popularity and political perception in the city.

The presence of Figueres mayor, Jordi Masquef, as a DJ in one of the fair's stalls at the Santa Creu Fairs has been one of the most talked-about moments of the festivities. This performance has led to various reflections within the local political sphere, especially regarding the freedom of action that his popularity grants him ahead of the 2027 elections.

"You can't imagine what would have been said about Marta Felip or Agnès Lladó if they had been DJing late at night in the stalls."

Meanwhile, other political figures in the city, such as the socialist candidate for the next municipal elections, went unnoticed among the crowd during the Xupinasso del Cafetó. This situation highlights the difference in public recognition among the various political actors in Figueres.
The ease with which the current mayor can govern until the next elections is based on his popularity. The mayor's circle also closely observes the impact of other political formations in Catalonia, while considering that in Figueres, they already have firm control over their electoral space.
