Overview
- A ceremony in Sant Cugat on Monday, June 22 formalised the transfer of Convergència Democràtica de Catalunya’s documentary fonds to the Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya with Salvador Illa and former CDC leaders in attendance.
- Illa publicly called CDC’s four decades of work a “positive” contribution and said Catalonia “owes a lot” to Convergència, a gesture journalists read as an effort to court former convergent voters.
- Jordi Pujol used his speech to defend the party’s continuing relevance and warned against efforts to make the convergent political space residual, while Carles Puigdemont was notably absent from the event.
- The ANC says the deposit occupies about 150 linear metres and was physically entered at the archive in late 2025; staff have begun archival processing and plan selective public access after conservation work and removal of personal-data restrictions.
- The handover institutionalises CDC’s records for future study and memory at a moment when the party’s legacy is being reframed against a background of past corruption scandals and the party’s 2016 dissolution.
