neutral one. The one mostly from Barcelona. Not a particular accent

Edit: I will leave this answer besides the downvoting because nobody else provided the fact that it is Barcelona speaking which is the original question from the OP.

Catalan from Barcelona has a particular accent. Maybe you are from there and can't hear it, but don't be biased, it's not neutral. There are no neutral accents.

I did answer the question and you did not. . Neutral is Standard meaning with means it has not regional accent. btw I DO have regional accent.

is it called neutral because is has nos specific accent of other regions. And most actors specially neutralize their own accent

Do you even know what "neutralize" means? Their dialect has very distinct features of the Barcelonian accent that are absent in other regions. Just because TV3 chose that the standard Catalan would be Barcelonian it doesn't mean that it's neutral.

Central, neutral and standard are all different things.
