Salvador Illa, the President of the Generalitat, has been actively working to restore normalcy and strengthen ties between Catalonia and the rest of Spain.
Recently, Illa participated in two significant events in Madrid, marking a symbolic return to institutional relations that had been strained since the onset of the Catalan independence movement.
He met with King Felipe VI at the Palacio de la Zarzuela, a meeting that lasted notably longer than usual, signaling a commitment to dialogue and unity.
Later, Illa led a Diada celebration in Madrid, emphasizing Catalonia's role in a plural and diverse Spain.
His efforts are part of a broader strategy to foster cooperation and shared prosperity, moving beyond the divisive politics of the past.
Illa's leadership is seen as a step towards a more integrated and harmonious relationship between Catalonia and the central government, with a focus on common interests and mutual respect.
