"Catalonia has no king", protests in Barcelona against Felipe VI.aren
- Felipe VI took part in the Economic Week Awards ceremony, which was held in Barcelona. On Thursday night the photos of the king were burned in several places and on Friday demonstrations took place in Barcelona.
A protest for every visit by the king of Spain. Felipe VI has acted in Catalonia on twelve occasions since the issuance of his famous speech on 3 October 2017, in which he accused the Generalitat of "systematically violating the legitimately approved norms, showing an unacceptable infidelity to the powers of the State". In all of them, the independentists and the Republicans protest.

Omnium has made a human chain to the monument to Christopher Columbus at ten in the morning. To this chain have been added ANC, ami, JxCat, ERC, the Cup, Demòcrates, Poble Lliure, USTEC-STES, InterCentral-CSC, IAC, the Platform for Sports Teams of Catalonia, CIEMEN and Drets. The Defense Committees of the Republic (CoR) have spoken at 10:00 hours to "deal with Franco's political heir". Along the way, the two mobilizations have joined, as reported in the follow-up carried out by La Directo.
The area where the king of Epania is located, in the area of the French station, has been occupied by a large police force. The demonstrators have thrown colourful paint on the Mossos and a group of people carrying Spanish flags have created moments of tension among the attendees.
The Mossos have removed this morning a Omnium banner reading "Juan Carlos I, Felipe Ultimate", hanging from the balcony of a hotel room. Two people who have been accredited on behalf of the Royal House have been taking the photographs and have been removed after being communicated to the Mossos.
It is often said that the summer season is a parenthesis in politics. Perhaps anyone who has a purely institutional view of politics thinks so, but the summer of this year, which is still about to end, has given us something to look at.

One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]
It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.
If independence had been maintained in most elections, there would be another... [+]
Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
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,... [+]
The Basques and the Catalans live in a state of siege in Spain, and we also have no clear awareness of this, I believe. In Catalonia this has been very evident in the last elections and in the aftermath.
What has happened is truly analyzable: The intervention of the Spanish... [+]
Like many other friends, in recent years Catalonia has followed closely. What happened there since we were brought forward with the 2017 referendum affects us. That is why I have also been looking forward to the election results.
