The awarding of the medal is a manifestation of municipal gratitude for a personal or collective performance·lective in favor of the city that has had a special echo or a notable repercussion in the cultural fields, artistic, scientist, economic, social, political or sports.

It is one of the honors, along with the titles of favorite child and adopted child, that the Paeria de Cervera plans to award as a sign of recognition.

In the Plenary of the past 26 of September was approved, by unanimity, award the City Medal to Armand Forcat, as a sign of recognition for his extensive career as a cultural activist, interpreter and disseminator of heritage through guided tours, articles, books…

The solemn act of delivery, which filled the Plenary Hall, went to the charge of the father in chief, Jan Pomés, and the councilors of the Municipal Council.

Jan Pomés emphasized that Armand Forcat is the first person to receive this distinction, "a recognition to highlight the cultural wealth of Cervera and for the city to believe in its tourism and heritage potential".

Armand Forces, visibly excited, he emphasized recognition for “doing my job, which I have done and continue to do very happily". He wanted to thank the Consistory, to his family, to the workers of the Tourist Reception Center (CAT), to the colleagues of the Heritage Interpreters Association, and to the former mayors and councilors of Tourism. He wanted to remember that "I inherited the appreciation for the city from my parents and brothers".

Laia Pipó also spoke, on behalf of the Cervera Heritage Interpreters Association, that together with the Bellmen and colleagues of the CAT, dedicated a few words of thanks to him for "entrusting them with the estimate for Cervera". Among other praises, emphasized that "Armand is the living history of the city".

The institutional parliaments at the beginning of the day were held by the father in chief, Jan Pomés; the deputy director general of Rural Planning, Laura Dalmau, and councilor Óscar Ordeig.

Jan Pomés welcomed them to Cervera and Segarra, "the granary of Catalonia", and encouraged the youths to continue their exploits.

Councilor Ordeig stated that "generational succession is an axis of government, because every young person who folds is a failure of society, and every exploitation that does not follow is a problem for the country”.

The meeting was organized by the Department of Agriculture with the aim of the young people sharing their impressions and needs with the Department's technicians, territorial services and regional offices. "We are at your disposal to help you", Councilor Ordeig explained.

In this way, the challenges facing the sector were discussed, as now the excess of bureaucracy, the Common Agricultural Policy (PAC), administrative simplification, the generational relief, the fair price or short circuits, among others.
