The Reus City Council called for a minute of silence in the Plaça del Mercadal on January 21, 2026, as a sign of mourning for the victims of the Gelida train accident and the Palau-Sator storm.

The solemn ceremony took place at 12:30 PM on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, in the central Plaça del Mercadal in Reus, gathering municipal representatives and citizens to express their condolences.
The mourning was for the death of one person in the R4 railway crash in Gelida (Alt Penedès), an event that also left several injured. Furthermore, the fatal victim caused by the recent storm that affected the town of Palau-Sator (Baix Empordà) was remembered.
These public tributes reaffirm the Reus City Council's commitment to solidarity and support for the families affected by tragedies that have recently struck the Catalan territory.
