⬛️⬜️ @assembleacat.bsky.social denounces the ongoing repression of Catalonia’s democratic rights at the 2025 UN Forum on Minority Issues.
Board member @arihv.bsky.social warns that Spain continues to deny Catalonia’s right to self-determination and criminalises peaceful political expression.

⬛️⬜️"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.

⬛️⬜️ 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.

⬛️⬜️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.

⬛️⬜️ Panellists at our symposium @abelriu.bsky.social, @elisendapaluzie.bsky.social, Neus Torbisco, Tim Waters & @pellourzelai.bsky.social share the importance of:
