We want to share the pain of the loss of Josep Piqué, who has been an extraordinarily close and relevant person in our Entity since the mid-1980s.
Then, together with another young academic, Antón Costas, he came into contact with Professor Fabián Estapé's Circle. From the first moment, the Board of Directors, chaired by Juan Antonio Delgado, saw in him a person who understood and identified with the most typical sense of the Circle. That intuition turned out to be completely correct, he soon joined several boards of directors, until he was elected president.
The most important thing of these four decades has been his constant commitment to the Entity, an availability and an institutional sense that we have been able to enjoy at all times. His contribution, quite often quite discreet, has a lot to do with the recognition that the Circle enjoys today. At the same time, we were able to experience very closely his outstanding and unique career in the academic, business and political world.
We will remember all this in an event that we will celebrate in the coming months, and that we are starting to design now. Today what we all intend to do is accompany his family and closest friends to show them our love for a person so full of humanity.
