Overview

  • Comuns will table a resolution instructing the Generalitat to enact legal changes that prohibit housing purchases made for profit rather than residency.
  • They also demand urgent fines against listing platforms and large landlords that ignore rent caps, plus completion of seasonal rental rules before December.
  • Operational deadlines sought include an anti-eviction office active in October with at least 50 staff by year-end, faster delivery of the 50,000-home pledge, a 150,000-dwelling rehabilitation plan, and a stronger Incasòl.
  • ERC will push a measure to make school meals and extracurricular activities free across public and concertada schools, acknowledging significant cost tied to financing.
  • Junts, PP, Vox and Aliança Catalana will test the government with resolutions on national recognition, fiscal arrangements, amnesty, and tougher immigration policies, with parties set to unveil texts Wednesday ahead of votes.
