Around three hundred people gathered in the Eixample district of Barcelona to honor Salvador Puig Antich, with the inauguration of a lectern at the location where he was arrested on September 25, 1973.

The event took place at the corner of Girona street and Consell de Cent, in front of the portal where the libertarian activist's arrest occurred. The erected plaque aims to preserve the memory of the events and promote the city's democratic memory.
During the commemoration, Montse Puig Antich, Salvador's sister, spoke alongside actors Helena Moliné and Marc Pujol. They recounted the police ambush that led to Puig Antich's arrest and his accusation in the death of an officer.

"The theatrical piece, based on an investigation by journalist Jordi Panyella, recovers documentary and personal texts related to Puig Antich's life and the process that led to his execution."
