More than a decade after the announcement of the Hard Rock casino-hotel complex project, the project remains at a standstill due to administrative procedures and divided opinions among political parties.
The project has caused heated discussion in the Catalan parliament, with the Socialists, pro-independence Junts, far-right Vox, and liberal Ciudadanos supporting the project, while on the other side, pro-independence Esquerra Republicana, far-left CUP, and left-wing Comuns Sumar are all against it.
En Comú Podem, which is how Comuns Sumars was called during the last term, voted against the 2024 budget claiming that it planned to advance the Hard Rock project.
However, the Catalan government rejected such claim: “not a single euro will go to the Hard Rock project in this spending plan,” Natàlia Mas, the Catalan economy minister, said.
