The former deputy of Convergència i Unió Jaume Camps i Rovira has died this Friday in Barcelona at the age of 78.
Born in Barcelona on November 9, 1944, he graduated in law from the University of Barcelona and graduated in tax and financial studies.
His political activism led him to join the Democratic Union of Students. In 1975 he joined the Convergència Democrática de Catalunya (CDC), a formation that he represented in the Assembly of Catalonia and in the Consell de Forces Polítiques de Catalunya. He was also vice president of the Association for the United Nations in Spain.
A parliamentarian of a gigantic dimension. A referent, for some of the most relevant lleis dels 80 and 90. I indefatigable builder of bridges.
