The Berga City Council faced heated debate during its latest session as opposition parties criticized the handling of the Carnival festivities, which were disrupted by severe wind alerts.

Opposition leaders from Junts and PSC described the emergency response as chaotic and lacking foresight. They specifically targeted Councilor Ermínia Altarriba, suggesting she should step down from her role due to the organizational failure.
Mayor Ivan Sànchez defended the decision to cancel the main parade, stating that the ES-Alert warning left the administration with no choice but to prioritize public safety over the celebration.
