Artur Mas

Artur Mas's achievements lie in his political career, particularly his role in advancing the Catalan independence movement. He served as the 129th president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the highest office in the Catalan government, and led the refoundation of CDC as PDeCAT. His decision to hold the 2014 consultation, despite legal risks, was a historic act that defined his legacy as a key figure in the independence cause.
