Àngels Ponsa

Àngels Ponsa is a former Culture Minister (Conseller de Cultura) of the Generalitat de Catalunya. She is currently newsworthy due to her involvement in a legal challenge concerning the relocation of Romanesque murals from the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) to the Monastery of Santa María de Sijena in Huesca. Ponsa, along with four other former Culture Ministers (Lluís Puig, Joan Manuel Tresserras, Ferran Mascarell, and Laura Borràs), has filed a criminal complaint against the judge who ordered the transfer. Their argument centers on the belief that moving the murals poses a significant risk of damage or destruction to the artworks. This action represents the latest development in a long-standing legal battle over the ownership and location of the Sijena murals, highlighting the ongoing tensions between Catalonia and Aragon regarding cultural heritage.
