A few days ago, a particularly emblematic event took place: the handover of the documentary fund of Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya to the National Archive, located in Sant Cugat del Vallès. The event was attended by the highest institutional representatives of the country, presidents Salvador Illa and Josep Rull, and had a symbolic and emotional charge, more of feeling than nostalgia, with readings related to the present and future of Catalonia. The fact that President Jordi Pujol attended the event helped to convey a sense of living history and a red thread of a national project, linking recent history with current concerns and challenges.

Jordi Pujol reappeared this Monday to put a face to the donation that the party he founded, Convergència, has made to the National Archive of Catalonia. The formation has donated its documentary collection in an act presided over by the head of the Catalan executive, Salvador Illa. In fact, the socialist president has once again heaped praise on Pujol: he has acknowledged his "work and political passion in the service of the country." Praise that he also extended to Convergència: "Catalonia owes a lot to Convergència and Catalonia, without Convergència, it would not have been the country it is today." The president has described the 150 linear meters of documents, posters, and merchandise of the party as a "collective treasure."

Just over a year ago lThe National Court sent four former mayors of Convergència to trial. for the Efial corruption plot. Then the Town councils of Ametlla de Mar and Ascó, Torredembarra and Vandellòs were judicially implicated in the case of illicit contracting that embezzled more than 8.7 million euros in fourteen Catalan municipalitiesOf all of them, Tortosa is the third most affected city council, with one million euros stolen, but so far no member of the then council has been investigated. The newspaper Ebredigital On Tuesday, the Ministry of Public Health published various fragments of compromised emails between the president of Efial, Antonio Martos, and the then president of the municipal urban planning management company (GUMTSA) and councilor for Urban Planning, Meritxell Roigé, who would later become mayor of the city.
