The Parliament of Catalonia processed a law this Wednesday to recognize the unique status of Val d'Aran, aiming to strengthen its self-government and institutional identity.

Proposed by PSC, Junts, ERC, Comuns, and CUP, the legislation ensures that the legal recognition of Aran is practical and effective within the Catalan legal framework.
The motion passed with 107 votes in favor, while Vox voted against and PP abstained. The law consolidates the specific institutional personality of the territory.
