• ERC said it has registered a nonbinding motion in Spain’s Congress calling for a solemn political act of redress, with the text urging it be held within six months.
• The Catalan Government says a joint ceremony with Madrid to present Companys’s family a certificate nullifying his trial remains planned but was delayed for scheduling reasons, with Minister Ángel Víctor Torres expected to take part.
• Speakers warned about surging far-right forces in Europe, and Parliament president Josep Rull alleged ties between Germany’s AfD and Catalonia’s Aliança Catalana while others urged unity and social justice.
• PP and Vox rejected efforts to present Companys as a unifying figure, while pro-independence leaders highlighted the continued exile of Carles Puigdemont and Lluís Puig and complained about incomplete amnesty implementation.
