Editorial: La Vanguardia

• The Generalitat of Catalonia is concerned about the drought and climate crisis.
• 1.045 billion euros from the 2024 budgets have been allocated to alleviate the consequences of lack of precipitation.
• These funds will be allocated to desalination plants, improvements to the network to prevent leaks, among others.
• Criticism was raised towards previous governments for the lack of strategic investment in water resources.
• There is discontent about water restrictions and dependence on desalination.
• Opposition forces proposed to protect the productive and business sector, whereas others proposed water restrictions for the tourism sector.

Conclusion: The editorial evidences the lack of political consensus in Catalonia in the face of pressing crises such as drought and climate change, despite the seriousness of the situation.
