5'05% of the overall vote. In 2010 the party ran for the first time to the Catalan parliamentary election, with Santamaria running as head of the party in Barcelona's province instead of Tarragona, Reus's province. The number two spot in Barcelona's list for the Cori was Miguel Brau Gou, a 77-year-old transvestite, widely known in Spain with the name Carmen de Mairena. The Cori did not get the 3% of the vote in Barcelona's province, failing to reach the threshold required in Catalonia's electoral law in order to get a seat. Finally, the party lost its seat in Reus's local council in Spain's 2011 local elections. Early recounts of the vote had given Cori a number of votes above the 5% threshold, but after a protest filed by the extremist Plataforma per Catalunya a new recount was made validating votes that had been initially considered spoilt, thus making the Cori's total number of votes (1.885) a 4'99% of the overall. Ariel Santamaria announced that he would run again as head of the Cori for Reus's local elections in 2015.
