Andorra's political realignment looks pre‑electoral but snap vote not imminent

Political manoeuvring across Andorra has created an impression of a pre‑electoral campaign, but a commentator argues that snap elections are neither imminent nor necessary. While many actors are repositioning and parties are renewing leaderships and strategies, it remains premature to conclude that an early vote is likely.

Several alignments are taking shape. On the right, a broad "conservative coalition" is expected to bring together the Liberals and Acció (likely running together), Ciutadans Compromesos, Virtus, Unió Laurediana and DA. A possible pact between Concòrdia and the Social Democratic Party would represent a centre‑left option, while groups such as Andorra Endavant and the reported Claror grouping could sit further to the right. If no other formations emerge, observers note there would still be political space in the centre.

The commentator acknowledges that preparing in advance is sensible — parties naturally want to avoid being caught unready — but warns against treating those preparations as confirmation of an imminent snap election. Many issues still need to be resolved, and attempting to force or block the process would be unhelpful. The commentator also considers it premature to start searching for successors or potential candidates.

Beyond party manoeuvres, the wider political environment is heating earlier than usual. With roughly two years until the scheduled general election, parties are already repositioning in response to persistent concerns such as the housing crisis and increasing migratory pressures. These challenges are expected to shape policy agendas, the formation of alliances and voters’ assessments of proposed solutions.

For now, the country is in a phase of active observation: actors are "warming their engines" and studying the terrain, but the countdown to the next election has begun in earnest rather than by immediate necessity. The commentator suggests that, should it be required, a referendum might be sufficient in the short term, while broader electoral timing and candidate selection can wait until the political picture becomes clearer.

In sum, current movements signal an early, intensified political cycle, yet the view expressed by the commentator is that this activity does not, at present, justify or necessitate an early general election.
