Brave (Catalan: Valents), founded as Barcelona for Change (Catalan: Barcelona pel Canvi), was a political party in Catalonia, founded by former Prime Minister of France Manuel Valls to contest the 2019 Barcelona City Council election.[1] A month after the elections, BCNCanvi and Cs broke their collaboration in the Barcelona City Council, forming two separate groups in the city council, with 4 councillors for Cs and 2 for BCNcanvi.[2][3][4]
In June 2021, Marilén Barceló, one of the 4 councillors of Cs, would defect to BCNCanvi.[5][6] In December 2021, the party was refounded by Eva Parera with the current name: Valents.[7][8]
