⬛️⬜️ 50 years on, Catalonia still faces the consequences of an incomplete democratic transition.
Our commitment is clear: defend civil & political rights, expose democratic deficits, and work toward a future where Catalans can exercise their right to decide their political fate.

⬛️⬜️Spain presents itself as a “model democracy” but the reality tells another story:
- Political prisoners & exiles after the 2017 referendum
- Systemic obstacles to freedom of expression & assembly
- Criminalisation of peaceful dissent
These are not signs of a healed democracy.

⬛️⬜️#OnThisDay we mark 50 years since the death of Franco.
Yet many pillars of his regime remain: an unelected monarchy he personally appointed, a judiciary shaped by the transition and repressive practices used against democratic movements like the Catalonia independence one.

⬛️⬜️"We've only voted and demonstrated. The tag 'normalization' is negative because it denies our political conflict and makes it seem as if we've had a violent conflict" - @epaluzieub.bsky.social at @assembleacat.bsky.social's symposium on why normalization doesn't make sense in the Catalan case.

⬛️⬜️"A razón do optimismo é histórica: debemos abandonar España para que non nos trague. Non é unha cuestión estética nin filosófica, senón de supervivencia" - afirma Lluís Llach a Nós Diario.

"España é irreformábel porque non quixeron reformala". www.nosdiario.gal/articulo/int...

⬛️⬜️ Professor Timothy Waters acknowledges that, even though we live in an interdependent world and nobody actually governs themselves, "it is valuable to have those tools of statehood sovereignty to negotiate in that world" in order to govern whatever you can.

⬛️⬜️ “The democratic crisis is colossal, and it demands revolutionary change. The Catalan democratic revolution is exactly that: it is transversal, interclassist and goes to the radical foundation of democracy.”

As explained by @vpartal.bsky.social at the International Symposium.
November 11, 2025 at 8:15 AM
⬛️⬜️Statehood is the right to have rights. We want #Catalonia's independence because, as Neus Torbisco remarked at @assembleacat.bsky.social'a symposium, it is the only way to ensure full protection of our individual and collective human rights.

We must—and we will—keep fighting for our rights.
