The president of the Fundació Festa Major de Gràcia, Lina López, will remain in office until November following a unanimous vote by the board to extend the current leadership.

The extension aims to complete the new coexistence protocol, a set of rules designed to prevent offensive behavior during the Gràcia festivities, following tensions observed in 2024.

"For whoever comes in, starting in November is much better than doing so in March."
