4,200 cases of repression have been documented in Catalonia between 2017 and 2022
- According to Òmnium Cultural, more than 4,200 retaliations have defended the self-determination of Catalonia since September 20, 2017. They want to use the anti-repressive front as an instrument for mobilising and fighting for self-determination.
The Anti-Retaliation website has been presented by the Catalan association Òmnium Cultural in the former prison Modelo de Barcelona. The VilaWeb media has gathered that Anti-Repression is a tool to document and denounce the repression of the Spanish State against the independence movement, and numerous cases have already been collected.
At the moment, "mnium" has recorded at least 4,200 political reprisals. Among them are 1,432 people investigated in criminal proceedings in October 2017 and in protests against the independence judgment, 1,639 victims of police violence, 1,200 in administrative judicial proceedings and 65 people with political espionage. Extreme right-wing groups have also been harassed for ideological reasons.

President of Òmnium, Xavier Antich, stressed that the repression of the Spanish State must become a civil commitment, a democratic struggle and a social empowerment: “The Spanish State has long been not the guarantor of fundamental rights, but the main infringer of them.” Faced with this, it calls on civil society to exercise the anti-repressive fight and organise itself on the road to the objective of the right to self-determination.
The PSOE renounces the propositions of the independence parties
The PSOE has voted against the proposals put forward by ERC, Junts, PdeCAT and CUP in the general policy debate of the Spanish Congress regarding the Catalan independence process. The independence parties have put on the table the unfairness of the conflict, the Pegasus case, the amnesty and the review of the crimes of rebellion and sedition, among others. VilaWeb has gathered that the PSOE has not submitted any text referring to the conflict in Catalonia, nor has it corrected the propositions of the independentists, it has rejected them directly.
Walk from a train station, two friends and a hug. This hug will be frozen until the next meeting. I'll come home, he'll stay there. There, too, will be free the painful feeling that injustice wants us to catch. Jesús Rodríguez (Santa Coloma de Gramenet, 1974) is a journalist,... [+]
