  • Salvador Illa, president of the Generalitat, used his Diada speech to defend the strengthening of public services as a solution to current structural changes.
  • Illa's speech was aimed at a diverse Catalonia, including separatists and immigrants, in contrast to the divisive speeches of his predecessors.
  • Unlike previous speeches, Illa's sought to create complicities rather than highlight differences.
  • Independence has lost its parliamentary hegemony and has internal divisions, which was evident after Illa's speech.
  • Illa highlighted several unresolved issues, such as housing, security, and education, avoiding the ideological instrumentality that his predecessors had used in the Diada.

Conclusion: Salvador Illa's speech marks a turning point in Catalan politics, seeking social cohesion and the strength of institutions against division and polarization.
