The CDRs of Catalonia, at the point of departure of the Spanish state?
- The cars that were returning home at the end of Holy Week have been given a “welcome to the Republic” by the Committees for the Protection of the Republic of Catalonia (CDR) on Sunday and have dismantled the barriers of the AP-7 motorway tolls.
The cars that have returned to Catalonia have been able to pass the peaches without paying, since the CDR has raised the barriers and covered the cameras to avoid fines, recovering the campaign “No vull pagar” (“I don’t want to pay”) of 2012.
For this initiative, the Prosecutor’s Office of the National Court of the Spanish State wants to accuse the CDR of the crime of rebellion, arguing that the protests that have been taking place in recent weeks are “unacceptable”.
The use of violence is necessary to charge the crime of rebellion, and the prosecutor has considered the CDR’s initiatives as “vandalistic acts”. “The democratic system has been put at risk,” he said in a press release.
Although they have previously practiced direct action and civil disobedience by cutting roads and railways, the anti-CDR statements in the context of this weekend’s initiative have multiplied.
Javier Marono of the PP compares the actions of the CDR with the “street fight” in the RNE, while Pedro Sánchez of the PSOE and Albert Rivera of Ciudadanos accuse the PP of not doing enough against the “violent commands”.
