  "account": "In Catalonia, the political landscape is undergoing a total recomposition, as outlined in a recent map. The popularist party, PSC, is poised to win the upcoming general elections, but they will lose momentum. Sonder polls consistently show a surge in support for the far-right, independentist Alliance Catalan (AC). Catalonia has traditionally been a stronghold for the socialists, but AC's rapid rise makes them a formidable contender.\n\nThe last polls indicate a near-tie between AC and PSC, with AC leading in terms of seats. If the current trend continues, AC could surpass the PSC, with Carles Puigdemont's party dropping to fifth place. AC, established in 2020, gained visibility in 2023, defeating a majority-led coalition in Ripoll's mayoral race. They have since won two seats in the 2024 Catalan elections, one each for Lleida and Girona.\n\nAC's leader, Carles Puigdemont, is waiting for the controversial amnesty law to be enacted. The CIS Catalán, the Centro de Estudios de Opinión, predicts AC will take third place, ahead of Junts. Despite the PSC's historical success in 2023, with 19 seats out of 48, consulting experts suggest AC's support mainly comes from Girona, Lleida, and interior regions, while Barcelona, Tarragona, and ERC's stronghold areas remain challenging.",
