Politics
During the week, local political activity was marked by the March municipal plenary session, where key measures were approved, including the modification of public prices for the Municipal Nursery School, the revision of fees for the La Bonaigua Sports Complex, and the update of the concession fee for the Vitàlia residence for 2026. The plenary also approved the ‘No to war’ motion and rejected the CUP proposal regarding the Festes de Tardor. In parallel, the session had been previously announced with these items on the agenda, and an interview with VOX spokesperson Gina Clavijo was published, focusing on security and municipal management.
Society
In the social sphere, the dissolution of the Camp Roig Neighborhood Association stands out, due to the lack of a new president, bringing decades of activity to an end. There has also been a reported increase in the foreign population, now reaching 2,806 residents (13.3%), with a wide diversity of nationalities. The week also included initiatives such as a cultural outing for senior citizens to Sant Feliu Sasserra, as well as the activation of preventive measures following a case of avian influenza detected in the Barcelona area.
Culture
Cultural activity has been particularly intense, with proposals such as the play ‘Nebraska’, which explores the debate on the death penalty, and the Primavera Jam Session combining circus and live music at the Youth Centre. Conferences have also been announced, including ‘The Gaudí We Haven’t Been Told About’, sessions of the Sant Just Knowledge Course, and a talk on Mao Zedong’s China. In terms of popular culture, the role of the Cor Lo Pom de Flors in the carol traditions has been highlighted, alongside the recognition of local resident Clàudia Foix in the world of sardana dancing. Additionally, the first Arteneu painting competition has been launched, open to different age groups, and the recognition of Axel Pi, drummer of Sidonie, at the 2026 Enderrock Awards has also been reported.
Sports
In sports, the week was marked by the success of local athlete Jordi Beascoechea, who won the gold medal in alpine skiing (giant slalom) at the Catalan University Championships, demonstrating a high level of competitiveness in a demanding discipline.
Mobility and environment
Regarding mobility, changes to the L21 bus line were announced, improving connections with metro and train services and reducing travel times to Barcelona. At the same time, environmental groups have criticized measures taken by the government in Collserola Natural Park to address African swine fever, warning of potential impacts on biodiversity and environmental management.
Administration and transparency
Finally, the City Council has renewed the Infoparticipa Seal 2025 with a 98.15% compliance rate, consolidating its performance in terms of transparency, information quality and public access to data according to the evaluated indicators.
