Aliança Catalana presented eight new candidates for the municipal elections during the II Municipalist Convention held in Ripoll two Saturdays ago. One of them is Jaume Valls, who will be the mayoral candidate for Vilassar de Mar. An incorporation, to say the least controversial, like other signings made by Sílvia Orriols' party, which never tires of repeating that they do not place “cordons sanitaires for the past” on their candidates and that what prevails is that they share the party's project “here and now”. “People evolve,” she adds when the profile of some list leaders is reproached to her.

Fran Garagarza had long considered the idea of creating a second Espanyol reserve team, introducing an Espanyol C into the blue and white structure. After exploring various possibilities, in early 2025 he contacted Vilassar de Mar, a historic club from Maresme with over a century of history that competed in the Third Division RFEF. The threat of relegation from the Elite League cooled negotiations, but despite the confirmation of the relegation, talks resumed in June, concluding with an agreement whereby Vilassar would become Espanyol's second reserve team.

Disarray in Vilassar de Mar. At the beginning of the week, the opposition announced a motion of no confidence to remove the Junts mayor, Laura Martínez. The PSC, Esquerra (Spanish Socialist Left), and Babord—made up of independents, the Comuns (United Left), and the CUP (Cup)—joined forces to oust the mayor due to the "critical situation" the council finds itself in after the municipal government lost its majority following the departure of the Republicans, first, and then of two Junts-Estimem Vilassar councilors. However, according to ARA, this move could put the three PSC councilors in trouble. The Maresme Socialist Federation will officially ask the national leadership this Friday to file a complaint against the councilors because they have reached this agreement, by which the mayoralty will fall to Babord, without "following the official procedure." That is, without the approval of the federation.
