Description

The letter sent by the president of Barcelona Football Club, G. Rosés i Arús, to president Francesc Macià in 1931 is a symbolic document that reflects the relationship between political institutions and Catalan civil society. At a key moment of democratic reconstruction and national affirmation, the club’s gesture transcends the sporting field to become an act of institutional support. FC Barcelona, ​​as an entity with a strong identity and social charge, expresses its recognition of the figure of Macià and the restored Generalitat. This document shows how sports clubs, especially Barça, have been active agents in Catalan civic life, reinforcing values ​​of cohesion, identity and participation. It is a valuable testimony to the interaction between politics and popular culture, and how the associative fabric has contributed to the construction of a modern and European Catalonia.
