Catalan citizens are peaceful, European, and open-minded. We want to contribute to better international and European governance.

How can we later criticise other countries outside the European Union for adopting such measures to repress opponents when we are tolerating this inside the European Union with European citizens? Like me - I'm a European citizen.

To me, the European Union says there is a charter that protects you; you have fundamental rights, and they are staying silent when they are violating my fundamental rights.

We cannot say no to what has already been approved by the citizens.

The independence project in Catalonia is... a peaceful revolution, carried out in suit, shirt, and tie.

What is more important? What the members of a politicised tribunal say, or what the citizens vote for? For me, it is clear.
