Està passant (Catalan for It's happening) is a satirical news program that analyses current affairs, produced by Minoria Absoluta and broadcast in Catalonia by the public broadcaster TV3. The program mostly focuses on political news, mass media and social media in a satirical way. It is broadcast live from Monday to Thursday, and on Friday a summary of the best moments of the week is shown.

Initially, the team consisted of Toni Soler, Òscar Andreu and Jair Domínguez with occasional collaborations from Elisenda Carod. In the second season, the program added new collaborators such as Marc Giró and Alba Florejachs.

At the end of October 2018, Òscar Andreu left the program to focus on a new weekly television space (La nit dels Òscars) with the collaboration of Òscar Dalmau. In the third season, Elisenda Carod took a more main role along with Jair Domínguez, accompanying Toni Soler in the set.[1]

Since late 2019, and during 2020, the program acquired new collaborators such as Lluís Jutglar Calvés (Peyu) or Magí García Vidal, in charge of the sports news section, as well as participating in the script of the program and obtaining a more important role, next to the presenters. In 2020, Òscar Andreu began once again taking part in the set as a one-off collaborator.

In September 2023, Toni Soler announced that he was stepping down as presenter of the show, handing it over to Òscar Andreu and Natza Farré, with the intention of eventually leaving the show and TVC altogether.[2] On 21 December 2023, he made his last appearance on the show.[3]
