The Sessions Hall was packed for the ceremony, which served as a public tribute to Comas. The event highlighted his role in documenting and sharing the cultural heritage of the Bages region's capital over several decades.
“"What is not known is not valued, and what is not valued cannot be loved; we people from Manresa are not overflowing with self-esteem."
During his acceptance speech, Comas emphasized the vital importance of teaching local history to both long-term residents and newcomers. He argued that historical knowledge is essential for building a sense of belonging and pride in Manresa.
