History

The party was created after the four councillors in the General Council of the Liberals of Andorra – Ferran Costa, Marc Magallon, Silvia Ferrer and Eva López – together with Minister Judith Pallarés announced that they had left the party on 14 June 2022.{{cite news |date=2022-06-14 |title=Pallarés i els quatre consellers generals deixen Liberals i posen contra les cordes Espot i Gallardo |trans-title=Pallarés and the four general councilors leave the Liberals and put Espot and Gallardo against the ropes |url=https://www.altaveu.com/actualitat/politica/pallares-quatre-consellers-generals-deixen-liberals-posen-contra-cordes-espot-gallardo_39739_102.html |language=ca |work=Altaveu |access-date=2023-04-06}} Pallarés claimed that they left the party due to disagreements with a conservative turn inside the Liberals, while she and the councillors preferred a social liberal project. They continued to remain in the government and give it support.{{cite news |date=2022-06-14 |title=Pallarés i els parlamentaris liberals deixen el partit garantint estabilitat governamental |trans-title=Pallarés and the liberal parliamentarians leave the party guaranteeing government stability |url=https://www.altaveu.com/actualitat/politica/pallares-quatre-consellers-generals-liberals-deixen-partit-garanteixen-estabilitat_39742_102.html |language=ca |work=Altaveu |access-date=2023-04-06}}
