Overview

  • The AVL has submitted legal reports to Les Corts and the regional treasury, arguing that Vox's budget amendments violate the Estatut d'Autonomia and its founding law.
  • Vox's proposals include redirecting €680,000 from the AVL's budget to fund Lo Rat Penat and municipal cultural events, further cutting into the institution's reduced 2025 budget of €2.98 million.
  • One amendment would bar the AVL from modifying its budget without government approval, undermining its statutory independence.
  • The AVL warns that the amendments would jeopardize its ability to pay staff, fulfill its linguistic functions, and maintain its statutory obligations.
  • President Verònica Cantó has urged other political parties to reject the amendments and is exploring judicial options to defend the institution's autonomy.
