Turull (Junts) remembers Companys and accuses the State of trying to kill the soul of Catalonia

On Thursday, Catalan political leaders gathered to commemorate the former president of the Generalitat, Lluís Companys, who was executed by the Franco regime. During the commemorations, Salvador Illa, the current president of the Generalitat, praised what he described as the political, social, and institutional normalization of Catalonia, attributing this progress to the effective implementation of the amnesty law.

At the same time, Jordi Turull, the secretary-general of the Junts party, used the occasion to launch a sharp critique against the Spanish state. Turull accused authorities of cyclically attempting to destroy the soul of Catalonia, highlighting ongoing political tensions despite the normalization narrative advanced by the regional president.
