Carlos Carrizosa steps down as Ciudadanos Catalonia party president

Liberal unionist politician Carlos Carrizosa will step down as president of the Ciudadanos party in Catalonia.

"Our last election results force us to rethink the party," he said before adding that he believes that there would be "a political move" that will "disappoint a lot of people."

Carrizosa, however, will continue to be connected to the party and will keep brining "loyal aid" as a grassroots member.

Until now, Ciudadanos president in Catalonia has criticized "back stabbings," recently seen among party members.

This letter was sent to members last week, but it was not published until late Tuesday night.

Ciudadanos topped the polls in the 2017 Catalan election, but since then, their support has decreased, to the point of not winning any seats in the parliament on May 12.
