Territory and the PSC

Building bridges between Catalonia and Europe, promoting opportunities between the two through dialogue, and forging fruitful and lasting relationships between their top representatives.

Give voice to Catalonia in Europe and bring forward the concerns and needs of catalan society in the european institutions.

One of my main responsibilities as a Member of the European Parliament is to strengthen relations between Catalonia and the European Union, and to serve as a channel through which entities, associations and local representatives can bring their concerns and worries to the European institutions. In this regard, I have worked to facilitate meetings between Catalan institutions and bodies and various members of the College of Commissioners of the European Union, with the aim of raising the profile of Catalonia’s political and economic priorities in Europe. Furthermore, we work closely with the Delegation of the Generalitat to the EU to strengthen Catalonia’s presence on the European stage.

I have also promoted visits by mayors to the European institutions, which has enabled them to meet with European officials in the field of regional policy to highlight the need for municipalities to play a key role in the management of European funds, which are vital for the transformation of our cities.

This is not only about bringing Catalonia to Europe, but also about bringing Europe closer to Catalonia. I have organised visits by European representatives to our territory, creating opportunities for them to gain first-hand knowledge of Catalonia’s political and economic reality. Within this framework, we have established contacts with social entities and local economic actors, assessing the impact of European policies such as the European Green Deal, and seeking ways to ensure that the ecological transition respects local needs.

As Vice-President of the European Parliament, I continue to work so that Catalonia has an influential voice in the major European debates and so that the decisions taken in Brussels take into account the reality of our municipalities, businesses and citizens.
