In her writing, Salanova argues that Christmas is one of the deepest roots of local culture and way of life, highlighting the importance of family, solidarity, and hope.
“"It must be said clearly: at Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ."
According to the councilor, universal values such as the dignity of every person, generosity, and love stem from this Christian event, having shaped society for centuries.
Salanova uses traditional symbols to illustrate her thesis: the nativity scene (pesebre) as an image of the humble and united family, and the Three Wise Men as a representation of effort, diversity, and the joy of giving.
Finally, she asserts that recognizing and explaining the profound meaning of traditions is not imposing a belief, but respecting what gives meaning and cohesion to the city of Sant Cugat.
