As you may know me, I'm from Catalonia and we are living some special moments.
Some friends from all over the world have visited Barcelona recently, they were afraid, as they saw images like this. Anti-riot police full-equiped attacking unarmed people....
and firefighters putting themselves to protect people that only wanted one thing...
(I have videos, as myself was in front of the police while trying to enter a private home without order, or breaking a school door and walls, without judicial order)
Simply to vote. Yes, a judge said that vote is illegal, but when vast majority of people is asking to change the law, then it should change, as the law must serve the people. If the law forces the people to act in a determined way, then is it like old religion or totalitarism state where they tell you what to do, what to think and when.
Sorry, I prefer to be myself and allow other to be themselves, always that their freedom does not force to change myself.
That day, 2017, October 1st, it changed the perception and sensations of a lot of people, and was a no return-point. Tomorrow a 10 judges want to modifiy what more than 2 Million people voted just because they don't like what people voted. There are some politicians that said that if the elected people does not do what they want, they will go to jail, using same words like mafia. Sorry, in this situation I prefer not to shut up.
Hope, soom be able to say what this hops has.
(Good morning Republic)
A republic where people can choose what they want with freedom, not imposed by a inheritance of a dictatorship, with judges the bow to a politic party and in a country small enough to have things more controlled., with no corruption (or less)
Tomorrow, Tuesday 30th, it is when the Catalan Parliament has to choose a new president, and the Spanish government does not want the one chosen by people and they are trying ANYTHING to stop this situation, including something considered illegal, but as the judges are they friends... they don't care.
Just remember one thing....
And we'll meet soon. ;)
Sorry, this post is more politic, but I'm angry of the threats the Spanish politicians are doing to Catalan politicians, this is not fair and not legal.
Images. First and fourth from Internet, sorry don't remember the owners, second and third mine.
I was there with Xavi at the Kyusho Convention he hosted.... thanks again fora great event.
Some people were nervous over the hype, but I am posting to say there was no riots, all was peaceful and all the people really enjoyed their experiences in Barcelona.
I wish you all well in your quest for freedom.... and you are not alone. From Brexit to other movements gaining support in Italy.... even here in the USA.
What they do not understand is this is global and it is coming whether they like it or not.
Thank you!
I've seen the arab spring and other revolutions, one thing is when you see it on a screen, but when you are living it, you are INSIDE something like this... the sensation is completely different.
The perspective from outside or from inside is something everyone should feel for themselves...
Thank you for your support!
I fully realize that without the experience all else is speculation.
The problems have festered as those making decisions are in the realm of speculation as they are too insulated from the realities.
But the people are now seeing this so it will only keep growing.
Good luck catalonians! Be free!
Thank you for your support! :)
Eventually, the only way to end is with an agreed referendum, like other countries did, however Spain is not as democratic as should be.
You know... ;) https://www.afp.com/en/news/826/spain-risks-downgrade-flawed-democracy-over-catalonia-think-tank-doc-yd4u61
We are watching from the US and most of us have hope with a heavy heart. Good luck.
Thank you! I'd like to know how it is seen and presented from outside, for this reason I post something like this.
Thank you for your words!!
