Aid worker and politician Víctor Terradellas died this Sunday at the Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona, aged 62, after suffering a stroke on Friday at the farmhouse where he lived in Cornudella de Montsant. A staunch separatist, he was the founder and leader of the NGO IGMAN Acció Solidària and secretary of foreign relations for Convergència. In fact, he played a key role in the Process, both during the Artur Mas and Carles Puigdemont eras. Through aid work and activism, he built an extensive network of international contacts that he used to promote the recognition of Catalonia and the independence movement, which became controversial following the the so-called Russian plot. Terradellas leaves behind a wife, the veteran aid worker Judit Aixalà, and two children.
