Carola Miró i Bedós (1965 – 4 May 2024) was a Spanish Catalan teacher and First Lady of Catalonia between 2018 and 2020, during the mandate of the 131st President of the Government of Catalonia, held by her husband Quim Torra.[1] [2]
Miró worked as a teacher at the Thau charter school in Barcelona, which belongs to the Cultural Institution of the Center of Catholic Influence (ICCIC). In 2007, she asked for a leave of absence to live with her family for a year in Switzerland, where her husband worked for the insurance company the Winterthur Group.[3] Miró and Torra had studied together at the St. Ignatius College and had three children.[4]
In the political field, Miró had been part of the association Reagrupament for the demarcation of Barcelona in the 2010 regional election, in 77th position.[5] Ideologically, like her husband, she was a practicing Catholic and a supporter of Catalan independence.[6]
In 2020, Miró was diagnosed with cancer, at which time her husband, then in office as Catalan president, temporarily suspended all of his public agenda.[7] The disease did not remit, and on 4 May 2024, she died at the Hospital Santa Caterina in Salt, having been hospitalised in a very serious condition for some time. She was 58.[8]
