“"There is a specific plan so that no one becomes a greater victim as a result of this ordinance."
The minority government plans to submit the new ordinance for approval during the municipal plenary session in June. The proposal has generated diverse reactions among opposition groups, with some parties supporting it and others expressing criticism.
While Junts and the Popular Party have expressed their support for the measure, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and the Comú de Lleida have voiced their disagreement with the proposed ban.
