Funding, the education crisis, and Puigdemont mark the new political course in Catalonia.

Cataluña has officially launched a new political term, marking the third year of Salvador Illa's tenure leading the Generalitat. The political agenda for the upcoming period is defined by several key challenges, most notably debates surrounding a new financing model for the region and an ongoing crisis within the educational sector.

In addition to these domestic and administrative hurdles, the political landscape remains heavily influenced by the unresolved question of the potential return of Carles Puigdemont, the former regional president and current leader of the Junts per Catalunya party.
