Overview
- The Badalona council, led by PP mayor Xavier García Albiol, approved a PP motion on Monday expressing support for the Pacte Nacional per la Llengua.
- The PP of Catalonia issued a formal statement rejecting the pact and the Govern’s language policy, restating a pledge to a “truly bilingual” model.
- Albiol released a video acknowledging an error in the motion’s first point, saying Badalona will not sign the pact and only supports some of its proposals.
- Opposition groups (PSC, ERC, Comuns and Guanyem) walked out of the plenary, alleging procedural abuse after last‑minute PP motions mirrored their texts.
- Albiol said he will not campaign against EU official status for Catalan, while noting it is not a priority for him.
