Early life

Career

Ciuró practised from 1994 to 2011, specialising in real estate and family law.[1] She is a member of the bar associations of Barcelona and Sabadell.[1]
Ciuró contested the 2007 local elections as a Convergence and Union (CiU) electoral alliance candidate in Sabadell and was elected.[4][5] She was re-elected in the 2011 local election.[6][7] She contested the 2011 general election as a CiU candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Congress of Deputies.[8][9] She was re-elected in the 2015 and 2016 general elections.[10][11][12][13]
In the 2017 regional election, Ciuró placed 57th on the Together for Catalonia alliance's list of candidates in the Province of Barcelona but, the alliance only managed to win 17 seats and as a result she did not get elected.[14][15] In July 2018, she was elected to the PDeCAT's executive directorate.[16]
In February 2018, Ciuró won the nomination to be the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT)'s mayoral candidate in Sabadell in the 2019 local elections.[17][18] She contested the 2019 local elections as a Together for Catalonia candidate in Sabadell and was re-elected, though she did not become mayor.[19]
In May 2024, Ciuró, a candidate for the Catalan Parliament with Together for Catalonia, emphasized her party's commitment to Catalan interests, advocating for a new fiscal pact with Madrid and calling for the return of former President Carles Puigdemont.[20] She positioned her party as the only party capable of forming a strong, independent Catalan government free from external influence.[20]
