10 million Catalonia: Plan it already or turn it back | News from Catalonia
Government Catalonia reaches Catalonia for 10 million residents. And he wants to start preparing so that public services and infrastructure are at the height of that population jump. Aguri, which has been repeated – without more concretion so far – although – The Minister of Territory, Salvia PanekA few people who have been broken in public have been adopted with an open rejection. And especially for extreme right. Whether or not the arguments against the country’s “degeneration” are so pronounced by immigration – under the excuse of sustainability, abbreviated, or camouflage. Catalonia, they come to say, it does not give it much. Catalan Alliance Leader, Salvia Orioles.
The government’s projection error is part: with Design In implementation, it is not enough to meet the needs of the population, there are serious difficulties in getting housing or going into public transport without shocks. “We are now designed for 8 million people, they are now 8 and soon there are 10,” said the counselor. They are Six million They greeted in 1987In the famous campaign of Generaltat Jordi Puzol. With the arrival of additional -community immigrants, the population century is practically stagnant for the first stages of the century. Almost no one in seven million has been repaired, perhaps by love on equivalent, rounded, perfect numbers. In November 2023, and almost as surprising, it was declared without pre -eminent pleasure and optimism: 8 million catalons. Panek already thinks about 10.
First, however, testing the premises: “Soon” is it true that we will be ten million? He is Idescot He does not say, or not so clear. In the last population projection of 2024, the official statistics agency of Generalitat operates three scenes (boss, medium and high). Only later, it only refers to one of the extremes (so it is less likely to occur, according to experts) that represents 10 million, as a person to attend OT in 2052. “To reach there, the increase in immigration should be more intense and over time. And historical experience It tells that for waves of arrival. In terms of planning, it is advisable to remember the maximum growth. It is better to think more than less. ”
The idea is that the idea is that it coordinates, so that they are not visible, now, the hinges of the system refers to the government’s expectations of the government trying to identify the needs of each region: health and education, housing, natural resources (water), spatial balance and environment, environment, environment, infrastructure, and six. Older. He explained to this newspaper that “narrowly narrowly but to raise the bases of new plan” before starting Jordi Terrades, General Secretary of the Department of TerritoryHousing and environmental transformation.
“Then some infrastructure has now ended. But the country is different, it is grown, and the world will be transformed into a more rapid pace,” said the terres, which is used as a disguise to reject critical defense immigration. .
“A country with no children should have immigrants”
Marina Kusiro knows the sociologist of the Sipriyano Garcia Foundation in Catalonia (and the specific weight of immigration). She is the author A detailed CC OO report with clear resolutions: In recent years the resuscitation of the labor market has been due to immigrants, which represent 26% of those already working. Foreigners occupy the most dangerous works, charge garbage salaries and experience the sinking economy: they are 160,000 work, although they are in administrative condition. “In Catalonia, the engine of immigration population growth and we cannot separate it from economic growth. The economic and social balance is positive“, Account.
Kusiro admits that there are “challenges” in the face of population growth, but come to say that there is still much to win. “It is necessary to talk to people about the consequences of a decrease in population. A country with no children must have immigrants“In 2024, the sociologist, which provides a new fact in the study, did not appear in the study:“ 100% net growth of an active population in Catalonia is thanks to people born abroad. Without them, the future of economic and social well -being is not understood, ”said Kuziro, who ironed the fact that it is interested in diminishing now.
Who really worries Environmentalists in actionNames of reflections like Orioles: “Eco -Facism.” “Those resources cannot be limited and cannot have a growth rate as current, because Eco -Facism says: ‘We are going to protect the powers of the minority. Grau believes that “population is 25%” (population growth “(Eight to ten million) “It increases most challenges”, for example, feeding or water consumption. But above all, in housing. “If this is one of the less real rights now, I don’t know where we will see each other. Although we believe that migration is a right, housing makes them physically impossible.”
To talk about housing You should return to the CED researcher modems because it is his study. “Housing stock grows at a higher speed than growing. And it is not 10 million, challenge at the moment.” At the highest stage of Idescot, he said, “We have to build 600,000 new homes in 30 years,” which means 20,000 homes per year. Mdenes said that beyond the refusal to increase growth, how it is suitable or suitable for “environmental sustainable” catalonia, which is a “relatively acceptable” challenge.
According to the latest Idescot data, Catalonia has 14,000 houses to be completed every year, but with the needs of the population, there is “significant decalage”: “At the beginning of the century, there was some coherence between the bubble and the growth of homes, but now the internal demand disappeared.” Mdenes believes that the Catalonia remains an engine of growth, so we are now “how many we are now, but not in the future.” Historian Anna Cabre points out in his work Migrant waves in the Cat also in the reproductive systemThe growth is not flat and calm, but “spasmodic” in large waves.
“Awesome” for transportation
Future catalands, how many are there, need to move. And public transport now wants a lot. “The transport network It is not for 8 million inhabitantsIt has all kinds of shortcomings, especially in radali, but not only. If the population reaches 10 million, this problem will intensify. It becomes almost a miracle, until it is planned, it will reach the right situation in 2050, ”Terminus-Center D’studies del Transport Director Zone Carles Salmeron reflects.
Salmaron warns of a challenge and does not affect alone, but transport: territorial imbalance. “We focus on 5 or 6 million people in the Metropolitan area, but we have a good regional train network, which is a good regional train network that can maintain population growth in Camp de Taragona, Girona or Lelida,” one, “Increase the ability and resistance of the system.” The other, “Network is not just in most capillaries, big axes.”
In education, the challenge in all opportunities does not have to serve most students, but to do good. “I am not sure that the student’s population is growing. Foreigners come to Spain in adolescence, to work. And, despite the more children, the local fertility rate is very low,” said Esadikpol director Lucas Gortazar. “We are going to a great land. The social cultural level of families is decreasing and the collective effort is added,” this educational policy expert adds. Keeping more resources is the solution. “We come from the secular financing deficit, and it is necessary to invest more to solve complexity.” And it is useful for education, but, sure, for the rest.
