• Salvador Illa has reached the midpoint of his term with a less favorable balance than the govern projects.
• Deficiencies in some essential public services have eroded his promise of efficiency.
• The recent approval of the Budget provides significant political relief.
• Illa has demonstrated skill in maintaining his heterogeneous majority.
• Despite institutional stability, the balance is not sufficient.
• The government's main weaknesses have appeared in day-to-day management.
• Corruption within the PSOE has affected Catalan socialists.
• Despite the failures, the Budget and parliamentary stability provide better conditions.

Conclusion: The Generalitat government needs more self-criticism and less self-complacency given the series of problems that have emerged.
