Concord (ca|Concòrdia) is an Andorran progressive political party formed in 2022 with the aim of standing in the 2023 parliamentary election.[2] It proposes curbing foreign investment in the real estate sector and rationalizing housing prices, and has been critical of the association agreement with the European Union, demanding a new approach for the European single market and micro-states.[3] They are also advocates for the preservation of natural heritage.[4]

Concord is headed by two co-presidents, Cerni Cairat and Olalla Losada. At least one president must always not hold an elected position to separate the institutional influence of the party organization.[5] [6]

The new party won five seats in the 2023 Andorran parliamentary election in April.
