The proposal includes strengthening the judicial bodies in Vilafranca del Penedès and El Vendrell, with one position in each. These new judicial units are in addition to the 91 being created in Catalonia during 2026, bringing the total to 962 judicial positions by year-end, a 10.45% increase. With the 2027 plan, 95 more positions will be added, reaching 1,057.
The new position in Vilafranca del Penedès will be for the civil and instruction section of the Court of Instance, while in El Vendrell it will be located in the civil and instruction section of the same court. These actions are part of the 95 new judicial positions planned for Catalonia, which include one for Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
The Department of Justice and Democratic Quality has advocated for judicial reinforcement that considers the needs of the entire region, ensuring more accessible, balanced, and equitable justice. Minister Espadaler highlighted that this increase will lead to a more efficient justice system and shorter waiting times for citizens.
In addition to judicial positions, 47 new prosecutor positions have been approved, which will be added to the 35 planned for next year, also increasing the number of prosecutors in Catalonia.
