Marià Lorca, the former mayor of Figueres, Spain, has died at the age of 87. Born in Navata in 1938, Lorca led the city from 1983 to 1995 under the Convergència i Unió (CiU) political banner. His passing is newsworthy due to his significant role in local politics. Beyond his mayoral duties, Lorca also served as a provincial deputy and in the Parliament of Catalonia. He further held the position of the first president of the Consell Comarcal del Alt Empordà. His death marks the loss of a prominent figure in Catalan regional governance and reflects on his long career in public service.
