On 23 October 2018, Valls positioned himself as the candidate of all the Barcelonese «elites», even the cultural ones.

Afterwards, in an attempt to gain votes from the PSC, Valls presented former socialist minister, Celestino Corbacho as number 3 on his lists, followed by politicians from Cs and Units per Avançar ( Eva Parera ) The list obtained 6 councillors, however the coalition fell apart as soon as Valls announced his support for the re-election of Ada Colau, leaving BCNcanvi with 3 councillors, soon to be 2 after Celestino Corbacho defected to Cs[9] In December 2021, the party changed its name to Valents.
