The Coordinadora Reusenca Independent (Catalan pronunciation: [ku.uɾðinəˈðoɾə rəwˈsɛŋkəjndəpənˈden], literal translation: "Reus Independent Coordinator") or Cori[1] is a political party based in Reus, Catalonia, Spain. It was formed in 2003[2] and stood lists of candidates in municipal elections of 2003.[3] 2007 and 2011. It obtained its first seat on the Ajuntament (city council) of Reus in 2007.[4]

The party is led by Ariel Santamaria, who is also its sole city councillor (regidor). Santamaria has gained a certain notoriety for attending council meetings dressed as Elvis Presley.

The official philosophy of the Cori is Juantxism, or "being a Juantxi": its 2003 campaign slogan was "put another Juantxi in City Hall" (Catalan: Posa un altre Juantxi a l'ajuntament).[5] Juantxi (Catalan pronunciation: [xuˈaɲtʃi]) is a term in Reus slang:[6] according to the Cori, it refers either to "an action which is grotesque or ridiculous" or to "a grotesque person who has certain delusions of importance".[7]
