Míriam Nogueras Camero (born 11 May 1980) is a Spanish businesswoman and politician from Catalonia who serves as Member of the Congress of Deputies of Spain.
Nogueras was born on 11 May 1980 in Dosrius, Catalonia.[1] [2] She is currently studying for a post graduate degree in digital marketing and electronic commerce.[1]
Nogueras is a co-owner of a textile company specialising in spinning.[1] She is an executive committee member of the Catalan Business Circle (Cercle Català de Negocis) and a board member of ASECIEMA (textile business association) and MODACC (textile fashion cluster).[1] [3]
Nogueras contested the 2015 local elections as a Convergence and Union (CiU) electoral alliance candidate in Cardedeu and was elected.[4] [5] She contested the 2015 general election as a Democracy and Freedom (DiL) electoral alliance candidate in the Province of Barcelona and was elected to the Congress of Deputies.[6] [7] She was re-elected at the 2016 and 2019 general elections.[8] [9] [10] [11] In July 2018 she was elected vice-president of the Catalan European Democratic Party (PDeCAT).[12] [13]
In May 2018 Nogueras won the nomination to be the Together for Catalonia (JuntsxCat)'s mayoral candidate in Mataró at the 2019 local elections.[14] [15] However, at the 2019 local elections Nogueras was placed 27th on the JxCat's list of candidates in Mataró but the alliance only managed to win two seats in the municipality and as a result she failed to get elected.[16] In July 2020 she left the executive of the PDeCAT.[17]
Nogueras is part of the "No vull pagar" anti-toll campaign.[14] [18]
Close to the positions of Carles Puigdemont and Quim Torra and a staunch supporter of Catalan independence, she considers Spain to be a "rotten manure heap".[19]
