The latest figures on young people's language use revealed two contradictory realities. On the one hand, according to l'Survey of Language Uses of the Population 2023Those aged 15 to 29 and those over 65 who report having Catalan as their family language (38%, alone or with Spanish) are the groups in which Catalan is most prevalent. On the other hand, historical trends show a clear decline in the social use of Catalan among young people, a worrying trend that, according to Esteve Valls, a sociolinguist at the University of Barcelona, ​​could jeopardize the transmission of the language to their children in the future.

Junts has denounced in Congress the Castilianization of Catalan place names on signs along the AP-7 highway. Responding to complaints from various users on social media, who shared photos with specific examples, such as Barberá (with a closed accent), Montornes (without an accent), or the Girona Sud/Sur and Oest/Oeste exits (now bilingual), on Tuesday they submitted a series of questions regarding the changes in road signage, which in some cases has switched from Catalan to Castilian. The same is happening in the Valencian Community, with Valencia (without an accent) and Alicante (replacing it with Alacant). In fact, the toponymy of the Valencian Community is one of the main points of contention for the current PP and Vox government. On Wednesday, Junts deputy Isidre Gavín denounced "the Spanishization of public spaces" and stated on RAC1: "They are taking us back to Francoism." Gavín asserts that there is a "replacement of signs to add the place name in Spanish when it is completely unnecessary, absurd, and pointless." He also frames this within the critical situation of the social use of Catalan. "Is now the time to do this? It doesn't make sense. Are they Catalanizing the second channel of Spanish Television and Castilianizing the roads?" he asked. For this reason, they have asked the Ministry of Transport, which is responsible for the AP-7 highway, to explain why these changes have been made. Miriam Nogueras also made reference to this. in Wednesday's session Addressing Pedro Sánchez directly.
