The aim of this paper is the study of the strong local survival property for discrete-time
and continuous-time branching random walks. We study this property by means of an infinite
dimensional generating function G and a maximum principle which, we prove, is satisfied by every
fixed point of G. We give results about the existence of a strong local survival regime and we
prove that, unlike local and global survival, in continuous time, strong local survival is not a
monotone property in the general case (though it is monotone if the branching random walk is
quasi transitive). We provide an example of an irreducible branching random walk where the strong
local property depends on the starting site of the process. By means of other counterexamples we
show that the existence of a pure global phase is not equivalent to nonamenability of the process,
and that even an irreducible branching random walk with the same branching law at each site may
exhibit non-strong local survival. Finally we show that the generating function of a irreducible
BRW can have more than two fixed points; this disproves a previously known result
