Spanish ministry deletes tweet congratulating Spanish military-police after realizing that a photo showed picture of collaboration with Nazi officer...ooops! Nevertheless: censorship will not hide fascist origins (and practices).
For the record, the Spanish state and its media have been persecuting the organization that organized this event, accusing them of “terrorism“.

Avui he presenciat un acte exquisit de respecte pel català a Suïssa: a la inauguració de la nova exposició sobre els Íbers a Basel -en col•laboració amb el Museu dArqueologia de Catalunya- el director suís del museu ha començat el seu discurs en llengua catalana.
El President de l‘Estat Lliure de Turíngia (Alemanya) explica el significat del llaç groc: “Símbol de solidaritat i de suport. Des de l’Octubre 2017, també pels presoners i perseguits catalans”.
Please watch this impressive scene: Catalans marching for liberty, following the steps of Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr..

Spanish diplomat (now in Switzerland) tweets:
“Shitty Catalans. They deserve nothing”.
...and Catalan tax-payers PAY this person to represent them! No wonder Catalans want independence!
In Basel, Switzerland, Catalans celebrated the day of St George/ St Jordi by offering roses to passers-by: traditional red roses & yellow roses for freedom. Thank you Switzerland for protecting Catalan politicians in exile and for being an example of democracy to the World!

Catalans have a right to decide their own political future without political & police repression
During the cold & dark night at a known mountain-pass of the Pyrenees, Catalan protesters sing the old classic: “We do not want to be a nation of Spain, we do not want to be an occupied country...we want independence...we want the Catalan Countries!”.
Spain was the only fascist country untouched by the allies after WWII, allowing a brutal dictator to rule for 3 more decades. There were no Nürnberg Trials in Spain. Europe has a big part of responsibility in the current repression of Catalans.

“If Spain’s prime minister cannot see that what his government is doing in Catalonia is wrong, he should realise that it is counterproductive and risks storing up much greater trouble for the future.”
Earlier this week Russia expelled EU diplomats for their support of the political prisoner Navalny.
We should remember that in 2018 Spain expelled Flemish diplomats for their support of Catalan political prisoners.
That’s what authoritarian regimes do.

Catalans used to be among the most enthusiastic supporters of the EU. However, the EU’s support of Spain’s repressive and vengeful policies against peaceful citizens, are changing the tide.
The EU must reform as a matter of urgency.
Democracy and human rights are at stake.
Catalans used to be among the most enthusiastic pro-EU citizens. Later, the EU silently killed the idea of the “Europe of the regions” & stopped defending human rights in favour of a club of states with authoritarian tendencies. Now it is hard to find a Catalan who likes the EU.
The vote for Brexit was based upon experience of living in the EU since 1992/3
The vote for Catalan Independence was based upon experience of living as a part of Spain since 1714
