Oriol Junqueras i Vies (11 April 1969) is a Catalan historian and politician. He is the current mayor of Sant Vicenç dels Horts and has been the president of the Republican Left of Catalonia (Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, ERC) since 17 September 2011. In the Catalan elections held on 25 November 2012, the electoral list headed by Junqueras won 21 seats in the 135-member Parliament of Catalonia, the second-best showing after Convergence and Union, which won 50.[1]
Academic Career
Junqueras completed his primary and secondary education at an Italian school in Barcelona. He began his university education studying economics at the University of Barcelona, but went on to earn an undergraduate degree in Modern and Contemporary History and a doctorate in History of Economic Thought from the Autonomous University of Barcelona.[2] His thesis analyzed the origins of modern economic thought in the western Mediterranean, establishing appropriate parallels with English and Castilian thought in the first decades of the seventeenth century.
He is a professor in the Department of Modern and Contemporary History at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and has contributed to a variety of Catalan radio and television programs related to history.
Political Career
Junqueras headed ERC's electoral list for the 2009 European elections. He appeared on the list as an independent, despite serving on the town council of Sant Vicenç dels Horts as a member of ERC. Junqueras won a seat in the European Parliament as part of the group The Greens–European Free Alliance.
On 11 June 2011 he was elected mayor of Sant Vicenç dels Hort with the support of the electoral coalition he had lead, Junts per Sant Vicenç (Together for Sant Vicenç), Initiative for Catalonia Greens-United and Alternative Left and Convergence and Union, leaving the Socialists' Party of Catalonia, the party that had received the most votes in the 22 May municipal elections, in the opposition.
