Colleague Carles Rebassa, winner of the Sant Jordi Prize for the novel Prometheus in a thousand ways, he tweeted: "I don't know what's going on. More than a week after Sant Jordi's Day, not a single institutional representative, from Barcelona or Mallorca, has congratulated me. What's going on?"
Until recently, it was normal for politicians, both Catalan and Spanish, to congratulate Catalan-language authors who had won an award or who had signed many books for Sant Jordi's Day. When I beat Josep Pla in 2000, the Spanish president, José María Aznar, who spoke Catalanin private"He sent me a congratulatory letter. I assume that winners of prizes like the Planeta are congratulated, nowadays, by Pedro Sánchez. Things have changed a lot. I won the Ramon Llull Prize in 2022, and I don't remember who congratulated me. Pedro Sánchez, I don't think so. It's a paper letter, like Aznar's. And of course, this letter was celebrated and conveniently recycled. It was given to several stoner friends so they could make quality filters for their cigarettes. Pujol. First, a secretary would let you know the day and time of the communication. President Isla is obliged to call Rebassa."
