Catalonia an unstoppable nation!
Tomorrow Sunday peacefully the people of Catalonia are called to manifest and demonstrate once again against the repression that Spanish state submits to the Catalan people.
Once again and peacefully we will transform our manifestation into a party, flaunting our culture and our symbols.
This time the demonstration will be enlivened by "els castellers" Up to 42 teams from all over Catalonia, will meet to re-demonstrate to the world that we want to be masters of our future!

Watching a human pyramid like that never gets tiring!!!!
But i do worry about those little kids climbing on top..! Do these pyramids ever fall down? I imagine the fall could be quite nasty, both for those on top as well as those below!
Also 30 years of prison for those two political leaders sounds very wrong I agree..
I wonder, as a Catalan what are your opinions on the EU? And are you for a 'strong EU' with more power or are you in favor of a weak EU with less power? I imagine a strong EU could force Spain and help Catalonia, but on the other hand a strong EU means less sovereignty for everybody involved as well.
most of times the human towers fall down:
but people train and usually nothing happens you can be sure that any other sport has more injuries:)
About EU... is not easy right now... i ve been allways in favour of a strong EU, but seing how EU miss us (catalans) lately i'm losing faith in EU, how can EU let their members be fascits? Spain is not the only case look at Hungary for exemple...
Yes, well that's why I asked, because I think the problem of why they can't 'do' anything about it is because the EU doesn't have the authority or power to really do anything against it. But on the other hand if we hand more power over to the EU, it would mean giving up some local powers. It's a hard decision, but I always did think that for countries with different populations who strive for independence it could work if both could continue to exist side by side as 'brother nations' under a EU banner. Same for Scotland, Flanders, etc.
As for Hungary.. also a difficult question.. What to do when the local populace elects a terrible leader? Should the EU simply be able to kick him out? That wouldn't be too democratic either.
I guess it's because the EU is still a half-measure. They've got enough power to get blamed and looked at if things go wrong, but not enough to actually fix them.
So what is the plan for Catalonia now that these leaders are imprisoned?
Maybe all Catalans should switch to crypto, thereby withdrawing themselves from the Spanish economy. And it would put pressure on the EU too because they wouldn't like the fact this makes the whole economically weaker :)
one thing is to own authority or power and other thing is to watch to another side, EU already has authority in Strasbourg court, but takes a long proces (8 years) that a EU judge talks... so politics should give signs instead of watch to another side, lately we are having more and more signals from Finland Scotland even Germany.
About Hungary is a well known corrupted country, every1 knows that, probably the elections are corrupted as well and their citizens are living with fear.
EU need to admit that has inside some countries (nordic) 30 years ahead about civil rights and others 30 years behind.... and EU should fix it since i'm a EU citizen.
You touched the key i ve removed most of my cash from banks... even a catalan crypto just borned: https://croat.cat/en/home/
let's see if Merkel now worries a bit more look at this data:
Yeah the differences are big between the nations I agree. But the European process of change is a slow one.. I think Spain itself has probably undergone some pretty drastic changes from where it was in the 1960's and 70's. Although economically and politically things may be lacking, from the outside it does appear like things have progressed forward pretty rapidly in a matter of a few decades. From what I can tell Spain as a whole ranks pretty high in terms of social views (I was surprised to learn that Spain ranks #1 in terms of gay acceptance for example, beating out many progressive nations).
I think the same will be true for eastern European nations. It's going to take a generation or perhaps two, but I believe eventually they will come around. It's a matter of opening up the country to outside exposure and waiting for the old generation to die off or become inconsequential. I'm pretty sure that the younger generation in both Spain/Catalonia as well as in other EU nations are more progressive and generally more social than their predecessors. But first the old people in power need to go, and unfortunately the 'soft' method that the EU seems to employ seems to mean something along the lines of 'let's wait until this problem solves itself'.
I looked at the chart but I'm not sure what the numbers represent! It's not population, and doesn't look like GDP either. What are they?
also, it's always funny to see my tiny country rank so high on these. It's easy to disregard Holland but we're not that tiny when it comes to the numbers!
Serà un espectacle! Benvolguda Catalunya, som i serem, sempre als nostres cors!❤️

Nothing can stop the Will of the People. If the Catalan people want to be free, nothing can stop them

That is a pretty impressive human tower!
Spain may not want Catalonia to secede, however, to imprison separatist leaders is unacceptable.
You'd think in this day and age, we would be evolved enough to make decisions regarding our fate democratically...
