Salvador Illa has officially taken office as the 133rd President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, marking a significant shift in the region's political landscape.

His inauguration, held at the Palau de la Generalitat in Barcelona, was attended by key figures, including ministers from the Spanish government and former Catalan presidents.

Illa's presidency symbolizes a departure from the independence-driven politics of his predecessors, as he pledges to govern for all Catalans and foster collaboration with the Spanish government.

His administration aims to respect the plurality of Catalonia while maintaining a strategic alignment with Spain.

Illa's leadership is expected to focus on economic cooperation and political stability, with a commitment to inclusivity and dialogue.

The new government, while primarily composed of members from his party, the PSC, also seeks to incorporate independent voices to transcend traditional party lines.

Illa's approach emphasizes respect and education in political discourse, aiming to bridge divides and promote unity in the region.
