Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida (born March 27, 1952 in Alcampell, Huesca) is a Spanish politician. A qualified lawyer, Duran began his political career when he was elected MP in the General Elections of Spain in 1979, representing Lleida becoming tinent d'alcalde in the municipality of Lleida.[1][2]

Currently Duran is an MP for Barcelona district, elected in the General Elections in 2004, and is a member of Convergence and Union (CiU).

Comments

In November 2003 Duran i Lleida advocated calling gay marriage (which is legal in Spain) by a different name.[3] In March 2012 during a fierce debate with Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy, Duran i Lleida asked for the immediate recognition of Kosovo by Spain, and stated that the reasons for non-recognition "are not international but internal".
