The president of the CUP group in Parliament, Pilar Castillejo, has urged Comuns and ERC to oppose Salvador Illa's government, speaking from Sant Pol de Mar, during a conference on language and independence.

On the eve of a key week for a potential budget agreement, the CUP warned that "it is time to stand firm, stand up, and say enough to the PSC's policies."
Castillejo expressed perplexity at the support from Comuns and ERC for the Generalitat's budgets, despite the climate of social tension, including the education strike and healthcare discontent. She denounced that the government does not prioritize the defense of Catalan nor protect the linguistic immersion model in schools.
For his part, the secretary general of the CUP, Non Casadevall, championed the Catalan language as an integrating tool and called for reversing its emergency situation.
The anti-capitalist party presented the declaration "Without language there is no country, without country there is no freedom," reaffirming its commitment to the defense of Catalan, its link to the independence struggle, and denouncing "institutional neglect" in the face of linguistic rights violations.
