European values, civil rights, freedom of speech, freedom of informatio,n and freedom of assembly are being violated by Spain's central government.

The freedom to swing your fist ends at my nose.

My freedom of speech rights are very clear.

If you're not going to use your free speech to criticize your own government, then what the hell is the point of having it?

All we want is to carry out the greatest expression of a free democracy and vote on Catalonia's future. This is not about independence: it is about fundamental civil rights and the universal right of self-determination.

We wouldn't have to take your rights away if you'd just stop exercising them.
