A 34-minute documentary investigation into the hidden struggle for control of Andorran Freemasonry between 1993 and 2025.
Based exclusively on the documents and institutional histories cited in the source material—including the Carlemany Project, notarized records, minutes and traceable communications—the programme reconstructs the attempt by Andorran pioneers to establish a sovereign Masonic institution protected by Andorran civil law.
The story begins on 11 October 1993, when Josep Guirao and Thierry Hortalon requested the registration of the Gran Lògia d’Andorra association and submitted the first Masonic statutes in the country’s history. According to the analysed documents, this legal initiative was intended to protect Andorran institutional sovereignty from foreign provincial structures.
The investigation then examines the creation of virtual lodges composed of foreign members, the conflict with French and Spanish provincial authorities, the foundation of the Carlemany lodge in 1998 and the subsequent creation of a Masonic district imposed without the effective participation of the majority of Andorran Freemasons.
The documentary presents the documents’ central thesis: that Antoni d’Ortodó allegedly became the local figure used to legitimise a hostile takeover designed abroad. It examines the events of 25 April and 8 June 1998, the suspension of the founders, the attempted seizure of the lodge’s authority and the legal protection that prevented the original Gran Lògia d’Andorra association from being appropriated.
Unable to control that civil association, the new structure allegedly operated through the Ramon Llull Association. The investigation follows the resulting parallel institutional framework and examines Antoni d’Ortodó’s thirty years in power: two as District Grand Master and twenty-eight as Grand Master, despite the standard three-year term referenced in the sources.
The final chapter begins with the election of 7 June 2025, when Antoni d’Ortodó was democratically defeated. According to the analysed material, the subsequent refusal to transfer passwords and documents, the obstruction of the new leadership and the complaints allegedly directed against the Ramon Llull Association itself formed a scorched-earth strategy.
The “Medea allegory” provides the documentary’s final question: what happens when a leader stops seeing himself as the temporary custodian of an institution and begins to consider himself its owner?
