On a political grid, JxC falls on the center- right liberalist block. The majority of their platform and public presence is for the independence movement, but some of their other views can be seen below.
- Capitalist- More likely to support capitalism because of their liberalism and center- right position.
- Ecologist values- Green conservatism because of center- right position. Believe in environmentalism.
- Women- Liberalist, in support of human rights and equity under the law.
- European Union- Pro EU because they want international support for Catalan independence; currently have little support. Only Slovenia and Belgium voiced support within the EU.
