Exposició fotogràfica en memòria d’Ernest Lluch

On the 25th anniversary of his death, the Ernest Lluch Foundation has prepared this exhibition, which is in the lobby of the metro station named after the former Minister of Health, professor, economist and political reference point.Ernest Lluch was a key figure in improving Catalan and Spanish society. An economist, professor and politician, he served as Minister of Health between 1982 and 1986. Considered the father of the General Health Law, which decentralised health services to the autonomous communities and laid the foundations for Spain's current universal healthcare system, a model for the whole world. Lluch was a staunch defender of citizens' rights and public policies, and with his knowledge of the Catalan and Basque realities, he always defended dialogue as a way to resolve the Basque conflict, ideas that made him a target of the terrorist group ETA, which assassinated him on 21 November 2000.The exhibition highlights his political commitment but also his outstanding role as an academic, and can be seen in the lobby of the Ernest Lluch station on L5, opened in 2021 and used every day by more than 9,000 people.
