• The Pacte Nacional per la Llengua was approved, with the objective of incorporating 600,000 new Catalan speakers by 2030.
• The pact receives majority social support from parties such as PSC, ERC and Comuns, and from important entities such as Òmnium Cultural or the Platform for the Language.
• PP and Vox opposed the pact, which did not represent a novelty. However, it is surprising that Junts and the CUP, two independent formations, also rejected it.
• Catalan is the exclusive habitual language for only 32.6% of the population of Catalunya aged 15 or older, which underscores the need for measures to protect the language.

Conclusion: In the face of the Catalan language's decline, it is necessary for all Catalan parties and entities to support measures and agreements to defend it, even when these include rival entities.
