Polònia is a long-running Catalan satirical show on TV3 known for impersonating politicians, and its version of Carles Puigdemont became one of its most recognisable characters during the independence process around the 2017 referendum. Puigdemont, who was mayor of Girona before becoming president of the Generalitat, is often teased for his attachment to the city. The closing line twists the traditional Visca Catalunya slogan to reflect that biography, which is why the clip keeps circulating in Catalan political humour, social media edits and regional pride posts.

Imitation of Carles Puigdemont from Catalan satire show Polònia saying Visca Catalunya but Girona more, used for Catalan politics memes and jokes.
This clip is an impersonation of former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont from the satirical television programme Polònia, delivering his closing line with exaggerated pride for his home city. The voice mimics Puigdemont's measured, formal delivery before landing on the punchline that Girona deserves even more loyalty than Catalonia itself. The contrast between the solemn political tone and the parochial twist makes the moment instantly funny for Catalan audiences, turning a patriotic slogan into a local in-joke about regional rivalry, identity and the performative side of independence politics.
