The political landscape in Girona is shifting as the May 2027 elections approach, with significant questions surrounding the future candidacy of the city's main political figures.

Mayor Lluc Salellas might not seek reelection in 2027. Despite significant investments from the Generalitat in neighborhoods like Santa Eugènia, concerns over city cleanliness and personal family reasons could lead him to step down from the Girona city council.
Within the Junts party, rumors suggest local members are looking for alternatives to Gemma Geis. Meanwhile, Sílvia Paneque from the PSC might move to a higher role in the regional or national government, potentially leaving her mayoral ambitions behind.
Internal conflicts within ERC regarding candidate Marc Puigtió and the potential rise of Aliança Catalana are also being monitored. Other figures like Carles Ribas could also play a significant role in the upcoming municipal race.
The upcoming months will be crucial for defining the final electoral lists and future projects for Girona. As the 2027 election nears, political movements are expected to accelerate across all major parties.
