Overview

  • A 54 m² senyera was raised on a new 25‑metre mast outside the Parlament in a ceremony attended by Salvador Illa, Josep Rull and Jaume Collboni, reviving a Maragall‑era ritual after works costed at €93,000.
  • Illa delivers the eve address at 21:00 on September 10, with floral tributes at the Rafael Casanova monument from 9:00 on September 11 and the central institutional event at the TNC at 20:00.
  • Pro‑independence entities will hold decentralized marches in Barcelona, Girona and Tortosa at 17:14 under the slogan ‘Més motius que mai’, with Junts, ERC and the CUP participating as PSC and comuns decline to attend.
  • The PSC has issued a Diada manifesto backing a federal Spain and improved financing for Catalonia, presenting the celebration as plural, cohesive and “open to the world.”
  • Free entry at museums and Òmnium’s Festa per la Llibertat with concerts on Passeig de Lluís Companys cap the civic program, with forecasts indicating broadly favorable outdoor conditions on Thursday.
