September 12, therefore, commemorates an event that affected the entire island and that is why, since 1977, the Diada of Majorca has been celebrated on this day until the left-wing pact of two mandates ago, in 2016, which was then chaired by Miquel Ensenyat of Month for Mallorcamoved it to December 31 as a demand of the Catalan Countries. The Dida was designed to coincide with the Festa de l’Estendard, considered the oldest civil festival in Europe.
To support the change of date, the Consell asked three reports to experts in the field of Majorcan history on the opportunity to situate the Diada on September 12 in the historical, legal and sociological context. The three reports conclude that September 12 is the most suitable date to celebrate Mallorca Day. The reports were written by historians and university professors Antonio Cañellas, Antonio Ortega Villoslada and Román Piña Homs.
