Xavier García Albiol is observing his party, the PP, from a position of comfort thanks to his overwhelming majority in Badalona. From this vantage point, he voices his opinion about Vox, a party currently supporting many of the PP's regional governments and which they may need to ally with to regain national leadership in Spain. Despite similarities in their rhetoric, especially concerning immigration, Albiol expressed in an interview with SER Catalunya's program Aquí Catalunya that he disagrees with Abascal and Aliança Catalana because they "target individuals based on nationality."

While Albiol's speech sometimes echoes that of Abascal and Orriols, particularly linking immigration to crime, he clarifies, "Not everyone can enter our country." He elaborates, "Those who come to work and integrate are welcome, as we need people willing to contribute, but there must be control over who enters, focusing on individuals and acting against those with criminal records or who get arrested for offenses." The mayor acknowledges a "problem with repeat offenders from abroad" and advocates for deporting those who commit crimes. However, he adds a nuance, stating, "This doesn't mean all foreigners cause problems." Consequently, he opposes the mass regularization proposed by Pedro Sánchez's government.

Despite the festive atmosphere in Badalona, Albiol plans to adjust his schedule to attend a protest organized by PP leader Alberto Núñez Feijoo against Pedro Sánchez on Sunday, June 8, citing its importance. He supports the opposition leader's approach to Sánchez, arguing that in opposition, "you can't deliver speeches as if nothing is happening," emphasizing that "in complex situations like the ones we're experiencing, you must act decisively." Albiol adds that "being in opposition isn't easy, as criticizing isn't pleasant, but it's necessary in exceptional circumstances."

Although he admits that some past actions by PP leaders, such as Alicia Sánchez Camacho's Camarga recording, were "regrettable," he insists that "the current situation goes much further, as it directly affects the country's president."

The mayor of Catalonia's fourth-largest city recognizes that his supporters include residents with diverse ideologies, including "socialists" and even "independents." He acknowledges becoming a "pop phenomenon" and is "very happy about it." More so, he notes that "more and more kids aged 14, 15, or 16" approach him to show their support and take photos with him.

When asked about Badalona's main issues, Albiol cites two: the insecurity in some neighborhoods—which has improved but remains unsolved—and the lack of investment in public infrastructure.

Albiol sees it as challenging to govern alongside the PSC, Junts, or ERC, as they have "a completely different city model," and for them, Badalona's development isn't a priority. However, this "doesn't prevent" them from reaching occasional agreements, as they are currently doing.
