Catalan President Salvador Illa will return to political activities next Monday after recovering from a medical condition that led to a month-long sick leave.
Salvador Illa, the president of the Catalan government, will rejoin his duties at the Palau de la Generalitat on Monday after receiving medical clearance from the Vall d’Hebron hospital in Barcelona. Illa had been on sick leave since January 16 due to a serious case of pubic osteomyelitis, which initially required hospitalization in the Intensive Care Unit. After spending several weeks in treatment, he has now been cleared by his doctors to return to work, which signifies a significant recovery from his health issues.
The hospital’s announcement confirmed that Illa has fully regained mobility, an essential requirement for his gradual return to his political role. While he will continue to undergo antibiotic treatment, the doctors have expressed optimism regarding his progress. This news comes as a relief to many in Catalan politics, who have been closely monitoring the president’s health status during his absence.
Illa's return is expected to invigorate the political landscape in Catalonia, as he resumes his role in addressing ongoing issues and initiatives within the region. His absence had significant implications for governance, and his reinstatement may help stabilize the political environment as Catalonia continues to navigate complex local and national matters.
