Rafa Navarro (Junts), Mayor of Premià de Mar, defended the approval of the 2026 budget with solid support and labeled the immediate repair of the local train station as an urgent priority.

The 2026 municipal budget, the highest in the history of Premià de Mar, was approved with the support of four parties (12 votes in favor and 6 against), a result the mayor described as “overwhelming.” Navarro highlighted the social focus, with over two and a half million euros allocated solely to social services, and nearly six and a half million in investments, including the start of the Mar Nova school and the new Local Police station.

"Since I became mayor, I have never been able to speak with anyone who has introduced themselves as responsible for Renfe. What is happening confirms that we have third-world public transport."

Regarding infrastructure, Navarro strongly criticized the delay in executing the 600,000 euro investment promised by Rodalies to fix the station roof, especially after the collapse of a canopy. This situation, which affects more than 50,000 potential users from Premià de Mar, Vilassar de Dalt, and Premià de Dalt, proves that the repair is an “emergency.”
In urban planning, the mayor stressed that he will only allow a modification of the Transmesa plan to be brought to the plenary session if there is a “majority consensus” among political parties. He also defended the proposal to temporarily enable parking in the demolished area of Can Sanpere to offset the loss of spaces due to the Jacint Verdaguer works.
Finally, Navarro addressed the pacification of the N-2 and the new C-32 exit, where pressure from residents and the City Council has led to alternatives being requested for the initial project. He also mentioned the detection of nearly 150 irregular registrations (padrones) thanks to the proactive action of the Local Police.
