About Antoni Martí
Antoni Martí Petit (Catalan: [ənˈtɔni məɾˈti pəˈtit]; 30 July 1963 – 6 November 2023) was an Andorran architect and politician who served as the prime minister of Andorra between 2011 and 2019, when he was elected on the ticket of the Democrats for Andorra. Previously, Martí had served as a member of the General Council of Andorra between 1993 and 2003, and as mayor (cònsol major) of Escaldes-Engordany between 2003 and 2011. As prime minister, Martí achieved a reform of Andorran taxation for greater economic openness and international transparency. In addition, he oversaw the law that allowed same-sex civil unions, reactivated the Andorra-La Seu d'Urgell Airport, managed the financial scandal caused by the Banca Privada d'Andorra, promoted the first major negotiations for Andorra's association agreement with the European Union and signed the agreement introducing the euro in Andorra. Martí was first elected to the General Council in 1993, the first parliamentary election to involve political parties, as a member of the Liberal Union, party of which he was a co-founder. Martí won 21 votes in favour and 6 abstentions for his appointment, and was sworn in the following day. Before the end of his first mandate, he left the PLA and founded his own platform called Unió pel Poble (Union for the People). On 3 April 2011, Democrats for Andorra (DA) won an overwhelming absolute majority, achieving the 55.15% of the vote and winning 21 seats in the General Council.
