Torra dedicated “an immense hug” to all the families of Lleida who have lost a loved one during this health crisis and indicated that he will extend it “to the whole country” on July 9, when he will remember “all Catalans in a national act to keep them in mind.” The president, however, has not yet specified the place where the event will take place.

To date, over 12,000 have died from Covid-19 in Catalonia since the beginning of the health emergency, as reported by funeral homes across the country.
