The proposal received 21 votes in favor, 24 abstentions—mainly from representatives linked to the People's Party (PP)—and 1 vote against (Vox). Among the most urgent measures, the Council is calling for the withdrawal of the voluntary pilot program for free choice of language in schools, the creation of a language project at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), and a welcome plan for newly arrived healthcare professionals, including intensive Catalan courses and integration tools, among other proposals.</p>]]></description>

Furthermore, the OCB lamented that the Council has not met for 15 months, despite the fact that the current situation regarding the language "does not allow for further delays."</p>]]></description>
