History

In September 2021, Montaner left the Third Way and announced the creation of her own party. [2]

On 18 November 2021, Montaner officially announced the creation of the Andorra Forward party. Montaner explained in a press release that "the DNA of the party" is based on six points and places first "the freedom of the people as a fundamental right damaged in this COVID period, a right that we will defend with cloak and sword". The rest of the elements are citizen participation, responsibility with a law of political responsibility, true transparency, the separation of powers and a deep reform of justice and meritocracy. [3]

In the 2023 parliamentary election, the party won 16% of the vote and 3 seats in the General Council. [4]
