Esteve Camps highlights the legacy of Joan Rigol
In statements to Catalunya Cristiana, Esteve Camps, current president delegate of the Construction Board of the Sagrada Família, highlighted the legacy of Joan Rigol, a faithful man committed to Catalan culture and identity. Camps has emphasized that Rigol has been a music lover and a defender of the country, the Catalan language and Catalan culture.
The relevant events of Rigol’s time as deputy president
Camps has highlighted several relevant facts from Rigol’s stage as delegate president of the Construction Board of the Sagrada Família. During this period, the entire interior space of the basilica was closed and Pope Benedict XVI dedicated it to worship and distinguished it as a minor basilica. Rigol also promoted the internationalization of the Sagrada Família, with the exhibition of the work in Vatican City.
A man who talks and is committed to civic life
Camps emphasized that Rigol was one of the most dialogic people he has ever met, a great lover of agreement and consensus. He was a man committed to civic life and was an active member of various important boards of trustees for Catalonia. His death leaves a void in the country, but his legacy will live on.
