Ada Colau: “In a world where the far right and hate speech is on the rise, it’s our responsibility to effectively consolidate Barcelona as a progressive and brave city, committed to human rights.”
Jaume Collboni: “This agreement is inspired by the city’s values. This is a city which has historically expressed the values of plurality, tolerance, understanding and dialogue.”

BComú and the PSC will share the six main areas of the city government. The two parties have agreed to cooperate, avoiding the creation of large blocks of just a single political colour and backing parity between them at all levels of the city’s political structure.

Various municipal responsibilities will have greater prominence with the deal and be handled by Deputy Mayor’s Offices. These include education, culture, security and feminism. The Neighbourhood Plan will also continue, with its own Councillor’s Office to offer greater strength. Other Councillors’ Offices to be constituted will cover the areas such as health, budgets and democratic memory.
