As Catalonia observes the Diada Nacional, the day is marked by a blend of cultural celebrations and heightened political tension. The political landscape remains heavily influenced by the pending application of the amnesty law and the potential return of Carles Puigdemont. President Salvador Illa has continued to advocate for social cohesion and unity, emphasizing that ‘no one is more Catalan than anyone else’ and rejecting hate speech to counter far-right influence. Conversely, the Junts party has criticized Illa for attempting to reduce the Diada to an ‘empty’ institutional celebration. Recent political shifts have introduced new uncertainties, with polls suggesting Aliança Catalana could rise to 25-28 seats, potentially becoming a major force in the Parlament. This rise occurs as the ruling socialist party faces challenges in maintaining its majority. Meanwhile, pro-independence groups such as ANC and Òmnium have called for renewed mobilization to advance ~~self-determination.~~ self-determination and push for a new independence movement. To facilitate public participation, the Generalitat has announced free access to various museums and monuments, including the Parliament of Catalonia and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. In Barcelona, Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona has implemented a mobility plan involving Metro reinforcements and the diversion of approximately 20 bus lines to accommodate marches and official ceremonies.
