  "account": "Lluís Puig Gordi, a former councillor, returned to the Catalan Parliament and retrieved a yellow ribbon that had been left on his seat for nine years. He was accompanied by applause from ERC and CUP MPs, while those from PSC and PP remained silent, and Vox members were absent. Puig had arrived from France that Wednesday and met with the Government, led by Salvador Illa, though details of the meeting are unknown. Junts expressed discontent that Illa was not present in the plenary session, sending a letter stating that the meeting did not replace his \"institutional duty\" to be there.",
  "summary": "The MP was greeted with an ovation by the pro-independence bench. Illa and most of his councillors were absent.",
