🚨June 12, 2026 — Just another day in Chinese Communist Party-controlled Hong Kong, the streets empty of protests.
But millions of Hong Kongers, at home and in exile, will be thinking about the movement and the struggle for their city's future.
And while the streets are quiet seven years on, the struggle for democracy is far from over.
Today, we remember the courage of the Hong Kongers who marched for freedom and autonomy from China in 2019.
Tonight, a drone show formed Antoni Gaudí’s portrait above Sagrada Família and displayed one of his most quoted lines: “First love, then technique,” during the centenary events marking 100 years since his death.
ANTONIO GAUDÍ murió hoy hace 100 años.
Sabía que jamás vería terminada su obra más importante.
Y aún así siguió trabajando en ella todos los días.
Hoy casi nadie entiende lo que eso significa.

Avui fa 100 anys de la mort del mestre Antoni Gaudí. I a ‘Les tres bessones i Gaudí’, la seva mort es representa poèticament: en lloc de ser atropellat per un tramvia, se’l veu pujant-hi i retrobant-se amb el seu amor de joventut.
Pell de gallina. Sempre referents.
Veiem per primera vegada la torre de Jesucrist il·luminada!
L'espectacle de llum iniciat des de la base fins a la il·luminació de la creu ha culminat amb una composició de llums guiats per drons, que han dibuixat la figura Gaudí i la frase «primer l'amor, després la tècnica».
10th June 2026. The #SagradaFamília will experience a historic day.
Coinciding with the centenary of Antoni Gaudí’s death, a universal figure in modern architecture and creator of a unique architectural language, we pay tribute to his legacy.
One hundred years after his death, the Sagrada Família will celebrate a solemn mass presided over by Pope Leo XIV and, subsequently, the blessing and inauguration of the tower of Jesus Christ, one of the great milestones of the project conceived by Gaudí.
