Inés Arrimadas can be reproached for many mistakes, but no one can deny her political heritage. She was the light of hope for constitutionalism in those days of anguish that began on September 6 and 7, 2017.

The party, which had been born a decade earlier to fight nationalism, exceeded one million votes and obtained 36 deputies. But success meant, in the long run, his decline, which began with his own refusal to run for investiture.
