• MWC Fira de Barcelona achieves a record ebitda of 37 million and is close to the turnover prior to the Covid pandemic

King

Felipe VI

, the President of the Government,

Pedro Sánchez

, and the President of the Generalitat,

Pere Aragonès

, will participate this Sunday in

Barcelona

in the

welcome dinner for the Mobile World Congress

(MWC), which will open on Monday and where they will meet again the three.

The meeting that precedes the largest telephone fair in the world will once again be held at the

Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya

, in the Montjuïc area, with the

assistance of the Mayor of Barcelona and other authorities

.

As happened in the last two editions,

Aragonés and Colau plan to be absent from the formal greeting to the King

as a gesture of rejection of the monarchy, just as they will do at the opening of the Mobile at the Fira de Barcelona in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

However,

they are expected to greet each other at the pre-dinner cocktail

, in which Don Felipe and Sánchez will share a table with the President of the Government and the mayoress, as well as the top managers of the GSMA, the employers' association of the mobile industry and organizer of the MWC.

On the occasion of the presence of Felipe VI and Sánchez in Barcelona, ​​the pro-independence entity

Catalan National Assembly has called a concentration prior

to dinner in the Plaza de Espanya, near the slope of Montjuïc, under the motto "Neither king, no crown. Independence".

"The King and the Spanish president are not welcome," reads the separatist call.

Since he acceded to the throne,

Felipe VI has attended the mobile congress every year

, except in 2020, when it was suspended due to the pandemic, and he also did so on several occasions as prince.

The employers' association that represents the large mobile phone operators trusts

that this year's edition will return to full normality

by occupying the eight halls of the fairgrounds.

The estimate is that

some 80,000 people will attend and an

economic impact of more than 350 million euros

will be generated

in the Catalan capital, where the GSMA has promised to continue organizing Mobile at least until 2030.
