Speaking in an interview published on 31st October 2026 by Metrópoli Abierta, Aragonès outlined a "global operation" to combat insecurity in the district, linking rising crime to immigration. Under his proposed plan, the municipal government would bring the Guàrdia Urbana to its legal staffing maximum, expand video surveillance networks, act as a civil prosecutor in criminal cases, and push for harsher penalties. These measures are framed as essential to reclaim public safety in one of the city’s most densely populated and historically significant areas. --- ## Immigration and Housing Linked Aragonès, who is also a cousin of former Catalan president Pere Aragonès, tied immigration directly to Barcelona’s housing crisis. "Barcelona lacks housing and has too many people," he stated, advocating for a European moratorium on immigration as a necessary step to stabilise the city. He further proposed that fluency in Catalan should be a requirement for accessing social housing or public assistance, a condition not currently mandated by the Ajuntament. According to the city’s official guidance on integration, while learning Catalan is encouraged for social and legal integration, it is not a prerequisite for residency, healthcare, or schooling ([Ajuntament de Barcelona, Integration Guide](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/novaciutadania/sites/default/files/documents/8%5Fimmigrationdef.pdf?ref=barna.news)). > "If Aliança Catalana governs, in six months we will recover order in Ciutat Vella," , Jordi Aragonès, Aliança Catalana mayoral candidate --- ## Political Context and Electoral Prospects Aliança Catalana, led by Sílvia Orriols, is projected to enter Barcelona’s city council for the first time in the May 2027 elections. Recent polls, including those cited by totbarcelona.cat, suggest the party could win five or six seats, positioning it as a potential fourth or third force in a 43-member plenary. The party’s rise is attributed to a shift in voter sentiment around security, civility, and immigration, filling a gap left by the decline of Junts in the city. While the current municipal security plan (2024–2027) already includes nearly 300 measures to improve coexistence and safety ([Pla Local de Seguretat 2024–2027](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/seguretatiprevencio/sites/default/files/2024-07/Pla%20Local%20de%20Seguretat%5F2024%5F2027.pdf?ref=barna.news)), Aragonès frames his approach as more decisive and enforcement-driven. No official debate or council vote has yet taken place on his proposals, which remain campaign pledges. --- *Sources:* [*Metrópoli*](https://metropoliabierta.elespanol.com/quien-hace-barcelona/20261031/jordi-aragones-alianca-catalana-gobierna-meses-recuperaremos-orden-ciutat-vella/1003742807374%5F0.html?ref=barna.news)*,* [*Ajuntament de Barcelona*](https://ajuntament.barcelona.cat/novaciutadania/sites/default/files/documents/8%5Fimmigrationdef.pdf?ref=barna.news)*,* [*metropoliabierta.cat*](https://www.metropoliabierta.cat/qui-fa-barcelona/20261031/jordi-aragones-alianca-catalana-governa-sis-mesos-recuperarem-lordre-ciutat-vella/1003742807374%5F0.html?ref=barna.news)*,* [*Tot Barcelona*](https://www.totbarcelona.cat/politica/expectatives-electorals-alianca-catalana-sacsegen-politica-barcelonina-745692/?ref=barna.news)*.* --- ### Related on Barna.News - [Barcelona Security Council Unites Against Violent Protests](https://barna.news/barcelona-security-council-unites/) - [Guàrdia Urbana and Bombers to Advise Expats on Safety](https://barna.news/guardia-urbana-and-bombers-to-advise/) - [Barcelona Postpones Plenary Over Toledo Train Tragedy](https://barna.news/barcelona-postpones-plenary-over-toledo/) - [Junts to Back Law Limiting Political Appointments](https://barna.news/junts-to-back-law-limiting-political/)
