A Gir Towards Hill
Pujolism seems to resurface strongly today, with an interest renewed by the figure of Jordi Pujol. While the interviews and commemorative events accumulate, it is clear that its presence has again filled the public space, as if the years of ostracism have been left behind. However, this return must be analyzed beyond the simple reappearance in the media; It is the reflection of a Catalanism that seeks direction at a time of global uncertainty.
The book ‘Pujol i yo’: a mirror of voices
The book ‘Pujol and I’ written by Txema Seglers, presents a series of interviews that draw a complex portrait of Pujol. Through 27 voices that have been close to him, a character is revealed with multiple facets. This work is not intended to be a definitive biography, but rather an attempt to understand his figure through the experiences and opinions of those who have surrounded him. The text thus becomes an exploration of the different perceptions that each has on Pujol.
The duality of Pujol
Seglers emphasizes that Pujol is a character with lights and shadows, a puzzle that cannot be completed with a single narrative. In a country where you are often silenced, the book offers us a vision of the various opinions that merge to create a collective image of Pujol, which each reader can reinterpret in their own way.
The legacy of Josep Pallach: a lost future
At the same time, the figure of Josep Pallach Resurge through the biography written by Joan Safont. Pallach, a socialist leader who died prematurely, is remembered not so much for what he did, but for what he could have been. His death at the age of 56 leaves a gap that leads us to reflect on the opportunities lost during the democratic transition. His vision for Catalonia is a reminder of the potential that was not specified.
The Pedagogy PES
Pallach devoted his life to education, and his pedagogical legacy is essential to understanding his political vision. His conception of politics as a form of pedagogy challenges us to consider how ideas can transform society. At a time when educational policy is in constant debate, their ideas on education as a driver of social change are more relevant than ever.
Reflections on the past and present
The return to figures like Pujol and Pallach strengthens us to look back in a moment of political disorientation. The ideas of social democracy and consensus that united them during the Transition seem to be more and more distant, but also remind us that the past can inspire the future. Politics should not be just a reflection of what we have experienced, but also a guide to building a better tomorrow.
The importance of dialogue
The interaction between Pujol and Pallach illustrates the need for dialogue in a diverse political context. Both figures, despite their differences, shared the common goal of building a better country. At a time when polarizations are increasingly marked, their relationship serves as a model of how ideas can coexist and enrich each other.
