catalan views

People who lie about Catalonia are a species that unfortunately are in no danger of extinction. On the contrary, it seems like there are more and more of them every day. I will give you some clues about how to recognize them and some data to dismantle their lies. They say you can catch a liar quicker than a limping man. Let's prove it.

The discovery of a planet with some features similar to Earth has surprised many. The human story behind this breakthrough however is less known. For instance, that the team which has made the discovery is as multinational as it is precarious. As opposed to what happens in other professional careers, surviving in the scientific field nowadays is a savage task. A clear example of this is that each researcher who has a ‘position’ usually supervises and produces one new PhD student per year, on average.

Democracy is indivisible in Europe and must be defended everywhere. That is why members of the UK Parliament, from four political parties, have signed a motion in solidarity with the President of the Catalan Parliament, Carme Forcadell, criticising her prosecution by Spanish authorities for allowing a debate on an independence referendum in Catalonia. Our motion, supported by SNP, Labour, Welsh and Northern Ireland MPs, calls on the Madrid government to reconsider Ms Forcadell’s prosecution and instead seek a democratic dialogue with Catalan representatives.

Everything is “A punt”, we’re “on our marks” for the 11th of September demonstration, for the “Diada”, Catalonia’s National Day. For a future that is near, very near. 

This year’s event will be held simultaneously in 5 cities across Catalonia, as well as in 50 more cities around the world.
