First resignation in Ceuta since the irregular entry of immigrants on July 29. And among the reasons is not the management of the crisis, but an alleged discrepancy of versions about the warnings of the avalanche at the border. The chief of staff of the Government delegate in the autonomous city, Gonzalo Sanz, has submitted his resignation through a letter in which he assures that the warning that an agent of the National Intelligence Center (CNI) transmitted to him via WhatsApp the day before the massive crossing was indeed passed on to the delegate himself, Miguel Ángel Pérez Triano, who denied before the media having been aware of these communications.

The president of Ceuta, Juan Vivas, stated this Friday that the central Government downplayed the warnings conveyed by the City about the increasing migratory pressure in the days prior to the massive entry of people from Morocco and affirmed that from Moncloa they even asked him to stop calling because he was becoming “very annoying.”

Alberto Núñez Feijóo has sent a message through social media to wish Catalunya a good Diada. The leader of the PP has claimed the capabilities of the autonomy and, for that reason, has asked that it stop being a “bargaining chip” for national political agreements that may end up prioritizing party interests over those of the Catalans themselves.

Every nationalism is based on symbols, liturgies, and acts. And there is nothing that resembles a nationalist more than another. That is why competing to dominate urban space is key. Not for the places themselves, but for what they represent. Even if they are only important within the…

Cordiality and good manners presided over the meeting between José Montilla and Artur Mas in La Vanguardia. Smiles, some complicity, and no reproaches. They are politicians from before the current political polarization. Not for nothing, as they made sure to remind, despite their…

On the 50th anniversary of the Onze de Setembre of 1976, La Vanguardia brought together this week the former presidents of the Generalitat José Montilla and Artur Mas to talk about what the first authorized Diada after Franco’s death meant, and about the challenges of today’s Catalonia.

The president of Òmnium Cultural, Xavier Antich, has made an urgent call to Catalanist, sovereigntist, and independentist forces to articulate a “broad, majority, and radically democratic civic front” capable of confronting the threat of the far right and rebuilding social hegemony in Catalonia within the framework of the political event held by the entity this noon on the occasion of the Diada.

Although far from the massive marches of the procés period, the independence movement showed strength again this Friday and was able to gather 57,000 people in the three demonstrations held in Barcelona, Girona, and Amposta –16,000 more than last year– under the slogan “Hi soc. Hi som. Independència” (I am here. We are here. Independence). But beyond the numbers, the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC), the main organizer of the event, took advantage of the Diada to look ahead to 2027. A year full of ingredients that could act as a catalyst for a movement that in recent years has been more distinguished by its internal struggles than by its strategic unity: the tenth anniversary of the 1-O referendum, the expected first autumn without “exiles” since then, and also a very likely government of the Partido Popular and Vox in Madrid.
