My HealthIt seems that the La Meva Salut program should work without many incidents, but it doesn't. It's difficult to access and I often don't manage to. Today I went to the clinic at ten in the morning. They should have sent me a code. It's six in the evening and I'm still waiting for it.

It should be taken into account that those of us who need this service are, commonly, elderly people, and we often don't have the computer knowledge of young people. It's incredible that those responsible who should ensure the program's effectiveness do not resolve these access problems.

Fermí Prat BarniolBarcelonaThe future of housingIf anyone believes that the housing situation can be fixed by building a couple of dozen subsidized housing units, it is because they do not want or cannot measure the enormity of the mess that has been reached.

If the rent price is equivalent to a day's wage, the economic and political model that has allowed it will only asphyxiate an important part of the citizenry by the other. And it seems that there is not much desire to remedy it. One will say that bad luck for the helpless. But the future of these helpless is unpredictable.

It is no longer a matter of looking for sides between the right and the left within society. It has evolved towards: landlords and tenants. And politicians are diluted, for the most part, within the former. If we do not intend to legislate to rebalance this abuse, we can expect disproportionate reactions from a part of the young, underpaid and confined society. We are warned.

Mateu Sastre MayrataBiniali Thank you, Canet RockThere are nights that are much more than a music festival. There are nights that become a lesson in country, culture, and hope. This is what, once again, Canet Rock has represented.

For this reason, I want to thank, with all my heart, the organization for continuing to bet, without complexes, on a festival where Catalan is the natural language. Without impositions. Without needing to justify anything. Simply because it is the language of the country and because music is one of the best ways to keep it alive. I also want to thank all the artists who have participated. Not only for their songs, but for their commitment. Those of us who have teenage children know perfectly well the moment we are living. Social networks, content creators, digital platforms, and many trends mean that, more and more, our young people change language almost without realizing it. It is common to hear boys and girls who were born here, who went to school together, and who have Catalan as a shared language speaking to each other in Spanish because it is what is "expected", because it seems more modern, or because it is what they consume for hours every day. And it is precisely here that initiatives like Canet Rock become essential. Because, all of a sudden, these same teenagers sing for hours in Catalan. They shout, laugh, jump, get emotional, and share unforgettable moments in Catalan. They discover that their language is also modern, fun, powerful, and capable of moving crowds.

That is why we need role models. Because a language only disappears when it stops being spoken. And as long as there are thousands of young people singing it at the top of their lungs, there will always be reasons to continue to have hope.

Why does this chorus constantly come to my mind? I can't explain it at all.
