In Barcelona, the People’s Party (PP) backed a Vox proposal to prioritise access to social aid and municipal subsidies for people with “real roots” in the city, according to Diari Catalunya. The proposal was rejected by the majority of the city council.
The vote took place during a recent council session. It placed the PP alongside Vox on a specific social policy issue within Barcelona’s municipal politics.
The proposal sought to set a national priority for social assistance. Councillors who opposed it rejected the idea of using “real roots” as a criterion for access to support.
The result means the current approach to social aid in Barcelona remains unchanged. Existing criteria continue to focus on need rather than the length or nature of a resident’s connection to the city.
