Concord (Catalan: 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 that Andorra remain outside the European single market.[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.
