The proposal includes a new position in the civil and instruction section of the Court of Instance in Vic and another in the social section in Manresa. These two positions are part of the 95 new judicial positions (94 new and one in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, which was created but not budgeted) planned for Catalonia as a whole.
This reinforcement will increase the resources of the judicial bodies in Central Catalonia and contribute to improving the response capacity of the public justice service in the region. These 95 new judicial units are in addition to the 91 judicial units being created during 2026, representing a new boost to the country's judicial system.
The Minister of Justice and Democratic Quality, Ramon Espadaler, commented that these new positions will cover "all jurisdictions, especially criminal, violence against women, and social, where there are very significant deficits," and that they "will benefit all judicial levels, from courts of instance to the High Court of Justice of Catalonia, including provincial courts".
With this increase, the total number of judicial positions in Catalonia will rise from the current 871 to 1,057 by 2027, a total increase of 186 positions compared to the current situation, representing a 21.35% rise.
