Josep Caixal

Josep Caixal was a significant figure in Andorra during the mid-19th century, serving as the bishop who endorsed the Nova Reforma, a pivotal decree aimed at modernizing Andorran governance. His support for reformist movements marked a critical turning point in the country’s political landscape, as it challenged longstanding traditions and power structures. Caixal's actions were instrumental in the attempt to introduce democratic processes in Andorra, which included electoral reforms that allowed heads of households to vote for their representatives.
