This event, in the format of a round table, will have a double character. That is to say, it will contain an important informative aspect and, at the same time, adopt the logical civic and commemorative nature that it has in front of the barbarism committed by the Franco regime. The round table will be the framework for a debate full of nuances, which will talk about the man and politician Lluís Companys and the difficult circumstances that he had to face during his dense public career.

As a corollary, this tribute to Lluís Companys will have the participation of the singer and romancer Jaume Arnella, who will interpret some songs and poems put to music of his last disc, "The shoes of Jaume", dedicated to the Battle of the Ebro.
