The Terrassa City Council has moved to fine Vox spokesperson Alicia Tomás and councillors Mireya Navarro and Daniel Pinto for serious institutional disrespect towards Mayor Jordi Ballart.

The proposed sanctions follow incidents in April 2025, where the councillors wore t-shirts accusing the mayor of silencing sexual assaults in the city. Tomás faces a 1,200 euro fine for repeating the act across two sessions, while Navarro and Pinto face 600 euros each for their involvement in the second meeting.
The controversy led to the suspension of a council meeting and the eventual removal of the three representatives by Municipal Police. The final decision on the fines will be ratified during the upcoming plenary session on March 27.
