Overview

  • Party officials say they will register Milián’s nomination in the Parliament today, opening the formal selection process.
  • Milián is expected to resign his Barcelona council seat if appointed, with Antonio Verdera designated to replace him as councillor.
  • The vacancy follows Lorena Roldán’s resignation a little over two months ago to focus on the Parliament of Catalonia.
  • Milián serves as the PP’s Barcelona spokesperson and Catalan strategy chief, and previously sat in the Catalan Parliament from 2011 to 2017.
  • PP sources frame the pick as elevating a Catalan constitutionalist voice in the Senate, and leaders do not anticipate vetoes given legal precedent.
