With a handshake, the new Generalitat presided over by Salvador Illa normalized this afternoon its relations with the Royal House and closed a stage of rudeness and lack of institutional courtesy. On the occasion of the Copa América, Don Felipe participated last night in the official welcoming ceremony of the competition, and previously visited the new facilities of the Olympic Port.
There was the image that illustrates a new stage in Catalonia, when President Illa received Don Felipe and they shook his hand. At his side, the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collbonithe Minister of Industry and Tourism, Jordi Hereuand the government delegate in Catalonia, Carlos Prieto. This is called a “hand kiss”, and it simply consists of the authorities receiving the king in a row, and he greets them one by one. In recent years, the presidents of the Generalitat and the former mayor Ada Colau have refused to participate in this protocol, although they have recently participated in subsequent events.
Before visiting the renovated port facilities, the King was able to follow one of the days of competition from the regatta ground. Later, in the Maritime MuseumThe King and the rest of the authorities welcomed the participants. Don Felipe celebrated that thanks to the “collaboration between different institutions”, Barcelona can host a competition with global projection.
For his part, Salvador Illa stressed that “Spain, Barcelona and the Generalitat have the “duty to unite efforts for the good of the country”“We are unstoppable when Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain cooperate together,” added Minister Jordi Hereu.
