The town of Solsona held its traditional Carnival sermon this February 15, a satirical chronicle that highlighted political paralysis and technological incidents from the past year.

Current events in the capital of Solsonès were scrutinized by the 'sermonaire', who spared no criticism for the Solsona City Council. Key targets included a 10% increase in waste taxes and the lack of substance in municipal meetings, some of which reportedly lasted only seven minutes.

"With the work pace they have, they would notice three or four months later."

The Solsonès Regional Council was also mocked following a cyberattack last summer. Additionally, the speech touched upon the local Health Center and humorously noted the low profile of Bishop Francesc Conesa.
The event included celebratory moments, such as the reopening of the Paris Cinema and the 50th anniversary of the Patinfanjàs orchestra. The day concluded with traditional dances featuring local festive icons like the Gegants Bojos.
