Mourad El Boudouhi planted an electoral poster with his photo on Catalunya Avenue in Lleida. On the poster, this Spaniard of Moroccan origin appears running for a supposed political movement.

The initiative has given rise to all kinds of speculation, from the fact that the first Islamist party in Spain had just been created. Mourad denies this and assures that the poster is only “a wake-up call to the traditional political parties” to include citizens of Catalonia in their lists.
