Míriam Nogueras i Camero

Míriam Nogueras i Camero is a Catalan politician for Junts per Catalunya and the party’s spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies.

Political career

Míriam Nogueras i Camero was born in 1982 and developed her political career in the context of Catalan pro-independence politics, where she has become one of Junts’ most recognisable parliamentary figures. Her public profile grew from municipal and grassroots politics in Catalonia before moving to the national legislature.

She entered the Congress of Deputies in 2019 as a deputy for Barcelona, a seat she has retained. Her parliamentary role gave her a platform at a critical moment for Catalan politics, as the independence movement and relations between Catalonia and the Spanish state remained central to the political agenda. From 2021 onwards, she became spokesperson for Junts per Catalunya in the Congress of Deputies, placing her at the forefront of the party’s messaging and negotiating strategy in Madrid.

Within Parliament, Nogueras has been associated with the party’s most visible interventionist line on Catalonia, especially in debates on self-determination, institutional recognition, and the balance of powers between the central state and the Generalitat. As spokesperson, she has acted as one of the main public faces of Junts in state politics, frequently setting the tone for the party’s position on legislation, budgets, investiture negotiations and questions affecting Catalan governance.

Relationship with the public

Nogueras has a strong public presence, particularly among pro-independence voters who value her combative style and clear identification with Catalan nationalism. She is often seen as a disciplined party communicator, using parliamentary appearances and media interviews to amplify Junts’ positions in Madrid.

Her relationship with the electorate is closely tied to the party’s image of defending Catalonia’s interests against perceived recentralisation. Among supporters, she is viewed as direct, firm and ideologically consistent. That clarity has helped her stand out in a crowded Catalan political landscape. At the same time, her style can be polarising outside her base, especially when Junts adopts hard bargaining tactics in the Congress of Deputies.

In the media, Nogueras is treated as a high-value spokesperson because she combines party discipline with strong rhetorical ability. She is frequently invited to respond to negotiations between Junts and Spain’s national parties, particularly when Catalan parliamentary support is decisive. Her visibility has made her a recurrent subject of political coverage in both Catalan and Spanish outlets.

Positions and political profile

Nogueras’ political profile is defined by independence politics, defence of Catalan self-government, and a firmly nationalist reading of the relationship between Catalonia and Spain. She is associated with Junts’ pragmatic but hard-edged parliamentary strategy: willingness to negotiate with Madrid, but only in exchange for tangible concessions on Catalan demands.

She has championed issues such as:

• greater institutional recognition for Catalonia;
• the defence of Catalan language and identity;
• stronger powers for Catalan institutions;
• support for pro-independence political goals;
• pressure politics in Madrid to secure concessions through parliamentary leverage.

Inside Junts, she is generally perceived as a reliable and media-effective spokesperson, capable of translating the party’s strategy into concise public messaging. Outside the party, reactions vary widely: supporters regard her as a determined defender of Catalonia, while critics often see her as emblematic of Junts’ confrontational approach to Spanish national politics.

A key element of her public role has been her participation in parliamentary negotiations where Junts has used its votes to influence national legislation. This has reinforced her reputation as a politician focused on results through leverage, rather than symbolic opposition alone. Her profile reflects the wider evolution of Junts from a movement-centred pro-independence force into a party that combines ideological ambition with tactical bargaining in Madrid.

No final court convictions ratified at last instance for offences connected to public office are associated with her public record.
