A former councillor from Cerdanya, with a long career in local politics, has expressed her intention not to rule out a possible return to public life in the upcoming elections.

The Cerdanya politician, who held a seat on the town council for fourteen years, has stated that her time in politics is not "definitively closed". This declaration comes a year before the next elections, opening the door to a possible new candidacy.
The former councillor has explicitly rejected the possibility of joining parties with anti-immigration discourses, emphasizing her open stance and the coexistence with various nationalities in the region, a result of her professional experience in the construction sector.
Her daily life has been altered by the coincidence of her name with that of an emerging political figure from a neighboring region. This homonymy has led to confusion and the need to clarify her identity on several occasions, especially in professional and social contexts.

"When I call someone for work and they don't know me, I have to tell them I'm not the one from Ripoll."

Her digital presence has also been affected, as information about her previous political career has been displaced by that of her namesake. Despite this, the former councillor has expressed that this situation does not concern her.
Her political career began in 2007 as the leader of an independent list linked to the PSC, obtaining three councillors. Subsequently, in 2011, her candidacy allied with CiU, achieving a resounding victory with eight out of nine councillors in Llívia. She justified this change by CiU's greater roots in the region and its presence in higher governments.
Despite winning the elections again in 2015, a coalition between other parties unseated her from the mayoralty. After six years in opposition, she resigned as a councillor in 2021, after fourteen years of municipal service. During her mandate, projects such as the reopening of a medieval pharmacy and the opening of the castle to the public were carried out, notably reducing Llívia's municipal debt by 65% between 2011 and 2015.
