The recent failed attempt to arrest former Catalan President Carles Puigdemont has sparked significant political and institutional changes in Catalonia.

The incident has highlighted the ongoing tensions within the Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia's police force, and the political influence over its operations.

Joan Ignasi Elena and Eduard Sallent, key figures in the Catalan Interior Department, have faced criticism for their handling of the situation, which has been compared to a theatrical farce.

The new Catalan President, Salvador Illa, is now tasked with restoring the integrity and independence of the Mossos, ensuring they operate under the law rather than political directives.

Illa's leadership is seen as a return to normalcy, following the tumultuous period under Puigdemont.

The situation underscores the broader challenge of depoliticizing the police force and ensuring accountability within Catalonia's institutions.
