Together for Catalonia[6][7] (Catalan: Junts per Catalunya, JxCat, also JuntsxCat) was an electoral and parliamentary alliance in Catalonia, registered as a political party in the interior ministry in July 2018,[8] originally envisaged as a platform comprising the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT), successor of the late Democratic Convergence of Catalonia (CDC), and independents and centered around the candidacy of former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont ahead of the 2017 Catalan regional election.[9][10] Some of these independents went on to form the Action for the Republic (AxR) political party,[11][12] which is also part of the alliance in the Parliament of Catalonia.[13]

The alliance was maintained for the April and November 2019 Spanish general elections,[14][15][16] as well as for the European Parliament and local elections held on 26 May 2019.[17] The alliance's trademark is currently the subject of a political dispute between the PDeCAT and Puigdemont,[18] the latter having used it as the foundation for a new party using the label.
