After 16 years of Convergent governments, Jordi Jordan (Movem-PSC) took office as mayor of Tortosa in June 2023 under a pact that limited his term to two and a half years. His main goal was to promote a city that was "more progressive, more social, and more supportive," focusing on housing, social policies, and heritage.
One of the most notable achievements is securing the largest grant in the city's history for urban regeneration, with a 25 million euro project (2025-2029) through the Llei de Barris (Neighborhood Law). This plan will finance 32 actions in the old neighborhoods (Rastre, Remolins, Centre-Nucli Històric, Castell, and Santa Clara-Garrofer), including the rehabilitation of historic buildings like the Centre Multiusos de Remolins.
In the social and housing sector, the City Council has launched two new municipal nurseries, Rubí and Rufolet in the Temple neighborhood, and Lo Gambusí in Ferreries, funded by Next Generation funds. Furthermore, the construction of 56 public rental homes is being promoted in Ferreries and the Temple, adding to 22 apartments already planned in the Castell neighborhood.
Regarding heritage, Tortosa has led the transnational candidacy to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historic fortifications. The recovery of the Balneari del Porcar (19th century) and the rehabilitation of the south wing of the former Sant Josep school for an artistic creation center have also begun.
Although the foundations have been laid, most of these actions are still projects awaiting materialization. Among the unachieved milestones are the one-year delay in the Govern's commitment to expand the Catalunya Sud industrial park and the failure to finalize agreements with all landowners for the new Terres de l'Ebre hospital in Sant Llàtzer.
