Catalonia

On 1 October, the Catalonian government held an independence referendum, which asked: “Do you want Catalonia to be an independent state in the form of a Republic?” The Spanish government was so concerned about the possibility of a separation from the State, that more than 10,000 police officers of the National Guard were sent to […]

Boycott Rajoy’s and the Monarchy’s election The Parliament proclaimed the fictional Catalan Republic but the 155 has been extremely real: now the president of the Generalitat is Rajoy, with all powers. Puigdemont and Junqueras gave up without a fight and handed over the institutions with no resistance whatsoever. Besides their own luck, they are only […]

First, we congratulate the Catalonian people, who, with their courage and determination, defied the brutal repression of the State, and fought tooth and nail the referendum, massive and that imposed a tremendous defeat on the regime.

They want to avoid, at any cost, for the people to vote on October 1st so our will is respected. They have transferred thousands of policemen and […]

Files, detentions, Police, and Civil Guard convoys…. Such is the response of the PP government and the State to the Catalonian decision of carrying out the referendum. Before events like this, we reaffirm our full rejection of the government’s action and our call to all workers and students: Let’s take to the streets! We cannot […]
