The Generalitat de Catalunya, through Fira 2000, is negotiating the purchase of the offices in the administrative district of the Zona Franca from the company AXA, where various departments have been located since 2020. Three meetings have already taken place, and very soon, in May, there will be a fourth meeting. These negotiations aim to put an end to 11 years of shadows surrounding this operation promoted in 2015 by the owner of the Zona Franca land, Fira 2000, a commercial company whose majority shareholder (53.6%) is the Generalitat and which also includes the participation of the city councils of Barcelona and L'Hospitalet and the Diputació de Barcelona.

Barcelona, ​​​​and by extension Catalonia, could lose 14% of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 2050 due to climate change. This is according to a study by the AXA Foundation presented this Tuesday at the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, which also indicates that the main risks linked to the climate crisis for the city of Barcelona are extreme heat, water stress, and flooding.
