Anyone looking for a rental home in Figueres has a hard time. The reader can check this firsthand: if they go to a real estate portal like Idealista, they will find only two apartments for rent in the entire city and at a high price: 1,100 euros per month for a villa in the center or 1,800 in the Oliva Gran neighborhood. It's not because it's a luxury city, but simply because there is no supply. This is just one example of the challenges that the capital of Alt Empordà has been facing for some time, along with population growth, the perception of insecurity, the saturation of public services, or the loss of purchasing power. A cocktail that in the last parliamentary elections translated as follows: the far-right garnered up to 21.92% of the votes. Vox was the third force, with 11.87%, and Aliança the fourth with 10.05%, in elections won by Junts (25.80%), followed by the PSC (23.18%). The result differs from the 2023 municipal elections, when Jordi Masquef (Junts) achieved an absolute majority with a leadership that generates many followers in the municipality – he obtained 49.81% of the votes – versus detractors who accuse him of adopting the far-right agenda.
