Documented proposals
Seasonal rentals
Madrenas supports a public register preventing seasonal contracts from evading main-home rental protection, while preserving Catalan powers and legitimate seasonal rentals. This assessment rests on her stated policy, rather than support for starting a legislative debate.
Source and assessmentFirst home
Pallarès describes Junts’s Congress proposal: 0% VAT on a first home for people under 35. This specific national measure establishes support; the general mortgage page alone was insufficient.
Source and assessmentWorking week
Cervera opposes the mandatory 37.5-hour proposal and advocates flexibility, bargaining and productivity. He also says Junts does not oppose every reduction in hours; this answer concerns the proposed legal cap.
Source and assessmentPensions
Ten supports inflation-linked pension increases and additionally seeks adjustment for territorial living costs. The qualification concerns the index, rather than freezing pensions.
Source and assessmentPublic healthcare
Calvo defends Catalonia’s mixed healthcare model and seeks withdrawal of national legislation making indirect management exceptional. Opposes replacing that model with mandatory direct public management.
Source and assessmentLow-emission zones
Bagué supports the national motion defending low-emission zones, requesting specific funding, deadlines and respect for devolved management.
Source and assessmentRent prices
Proposes preventing large landlords from bypassing rent caps in pressured areas through new extensions. Supports enforcing those caps, with payment conditions and recovery for a landlord’s own needs.
Source and assessmentSuspending evictions
Madrenas rejects further extensions, proposing state payment of vulnerable tenants’ debt and rent. This is not opposition to all social assistance.
Source and assessmentIllegal squatting
Nogueras proposes criminal-court removal where occupants cannot show a lawful title, with recovery proceedings within 48 hours, distinguishing this from civil measures for apartment-owner associations.
Source and assessmentBuilding new homes
Madrenas calls for simpler procedures, effective deadlines and legal certainty, respecting Catalan powers.
Source and assessmentAutomatic lease renewal
Madrenas rejects imposed open-ended rental contracts in her criticism of market restrictions. This does not imply opposition to voluntary open-ended leases.
Source and assessmentHousing purchases by investment funds
Madrenas explicitly offers support for banning vulture-fund housing purchases, while opposing a broader ban on all legal entities because it would also affect cooperatives and public bodies.
Source and assessmentBorder controls
Madrenas calls for anticipatory border control and timely installation of the legally provided physical barrier in Ceuta to prevent irregular entry and loss of life. She explicitly criticises missing preventive means; the assessment is not inferred solely from her separate demand for Catalan powers.
Source and assessmentSeeking asylum at the border
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes repealing the special border-return regime in immigration law and protecting asylum applicants’ rights.
Source and assessmentSharing responsibility for migrant children
Cervera supports mandatory distribution with objective criteria and credit for previous reception, defending Catalonia’s exemption because of already committed capacity and requiring integration resources.
Source and assessmentRepeated petty theft
Supports stronger criminal penalties for repeated theft, alongside court resources and proportionality.
Source and assessmentWho chooses the judges on the judicial council
Pagès explicitly rejects judges electing judicial council members. He also opposes party quota-sharing and proposes enforced term limits and objective, transparent appointments.
Source and assessmentSpecial courts for politicians
Junts per Catalunya candidacy manifesto for the November 2019 general election (historical evidence). Its national manifesto retains special court status for political duties while excluding private acts and corruption. It opposes the complete abolition asked about without defending protection for corruption.
Source and assessmentLobbyists: who influences government
Pagès accepts registration and transparency duties for professional lobbyists and large companies, seeking an exemption for occasional unpaid activity and opposing the decree for failing to distinguish them.
Source and assessmentProtecting people who report corruption
Pagès opposes the proposed national anti-corruption body because it duplicates structures and centralises oversight of Catalonia’s Anti-Fraud Office. He supports existing specialist bodies and safeguards against partisan use; opposition to a national body does not mean opposing whistleblower protection and is not inferred solely from a procedural vote.
Source and assessmentAmnesty for the Catalan independence process
Supports adopting the 2024 amnesty to address the Catalan political conflict.
Source and assessmentIndependence referendums
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports recognition of Catalonia as a political entity entitled to self-determination.
Source and assessmentCatalonia collecting its own taxes
2024 policy paper: proposes a system outside the common financing law, full tax administration and a contribution for shared services and solidarity. Publication day is unconfirmed; first observation is shown.
Source and assessmentCatalan and other languages in school
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports Catalan-medium immersion alongside learning Spanish and other languages.
Source and assessmentTaxes on large fortunes
Amendment 225 retains the large-fortunes tax until financing reform but proposes suspending the separate wealth tax meanwhile. Conditional support for its design, distinct from abolishing both taxes.
Source and assessmentPublic or subsidised private schools
Castellví favours sufficient publicly funded places across both systems rather than public-school places alone, defending public and subsidised private provision together.
Source and assessmentAbortion access
Organic Law 1/2023, articles 13 and 19: legislative evidence from 2023. Votes for the 2023 abortion reform, including public provision and decisions at 16 and 17 without parental consent. Evidence from the final law vote rather than a procedural vote.
Source and assessmentTrans law: changing legal sex
Calvo supports broader self-determined legal recognition, including younger children, distinguishing registration from surgery or hormones.
Source and assessmentEuthanasia
Supports lawful assistance in dying with medical safeguards and personal choice, seeking to avoid unnecessary court delays.
Source and assessmentExtending nuclear plant lifetimes
Pallarès supports delaying closures to secure supply and industrial competitiveness, conditional on a planned energy transition agreed with the territory. This is not unconditional support for every plant: she takes no position on Almaraz.
Source and assessmentArms embargo on Israel
Direct statements to EFE on the arms embargo (2025); the full article received through the web reader is privately archived. Junts directly confirmed to EFE support for the decree centred on banning arms purchases and sales with Israel, with the national-interest exceptions in its text. That support resulted in approval on 8 October 2025; this does not claim a ban without exceptions.
Source and assessmentMinimum wage
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes raising the minimum wage to improve the incomes of lower-paid workers.
Source and assessmentSelf-employed people and small businesses
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes simpler administrative procedures for self-employed people and small businesses.
Source and assessmentMinimum income
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports a minimum-income benefit and better access for low-income households.
Source and assessmentFree nursery places
Junts per Barcelona asks the Catalan government to extend genuinely universal free provision across ages zero to three, with sufficient public funding. This municipal proposal addressed to Catalonia establishes the general principle of free nursery places, not a national measure or support for every item in a combined vote.
Source and assessmentSupport for people needing daily care
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Calls for the national government to fund 50% of dependency care.
Source and assessmentMental health
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes more public mental-health resources for young people. This evidence concerns young people, rather than every psychological service.
Source and assessmentStudent grants
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports grants and financial help so that low income does not prevent further study.
Source and assessmentScience and research
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports public funding for science and research.
Source and assessmentViolence against women
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports specific measures and protection against gender-based violence towards women.
Source and assessmentOnline privacy
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes stronger data protection and individual rights in digital environments.
Source and assessmentEnergy and global warming

Source and assessmentFood and farming
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports public aid and funding to sustain local agricultural production.
Source and assessmentPublic transport fares
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Proposes public funding to reduce the cost of public transport.
Source and assessmentEuropean Union decisions

Source and assessmentAid to other countries
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports public funding for development cooperation to fight poverty and inequality.
Source and assessmentCulture and heritage
2023 general-election manifesto (historical reference). Supports public backing for culture and preserving and sharing heritage.
Source and assessmentIncome tax: low and middle incomes
Undated tax-policy page. Original archived from Junts’s website; this is its archive date, not a new-proposal date. Proposes lower income tax for middle and working incomes and restoring rent and mortgage deductions. The page says the cut still awaits agreement.
Source and assessmentIncome tax and inflation
Separate vote on income-tax point 1. Nonbinding motion; it does not change the law. Voted for general income-tax adjustment. This vote does not establish a position on every targeted cut for lower incomes.
Source and assessmentBurqa and niqab in public spaces
Bill tabled by Junts; not enacted. Its bill bans face covering in public spaces, with exceptions, and adds the delegation of security and identification powers to Catalonia.
