atesos
"Atesos" means "given" or "considering" in English.
In this sentence, 'atesos' is a past participle meaning 'attended to' or 'taken care of', agreeing with the plural masculine noun 'convidats' (guests).
Els convidats van ser ben atesos pels amfitrions durant el sopar.
The guests were well attended by the hosts during the dinner.
Here, 'atesos' behaves as a causaive conjunction equivalent to 'given' or 'due to', preceding a reason or justification.
El negoci està tancat atesos els recents esdeveniments.
The business is closed given the recent events.
In this case, 'atesos' is serving as the past participle of the verb 'atendre' (to assist), aligning with 'ciutadans' (citizens) in the passive voice construction.
