The Catalan National Assembly in DK. Tenim un somni: Dinamarca serà el primer país en reconèixer la Catalunya independent. Treballem perquè es faci realitat.
Gran èxit inaugural de l'exposició sobre l'#1OCT a #Copenhagen. Moltes gràcies a tothom que l'ha fet possible i en especial a @jordiborras per les fotografies i @MagniArge pel seu relat com a visitant internacional. Recordeu que l'exposició es pot visitar fins el 17/10 #Catalonia
This is a flagrant abuse of EU law to persecute @KRLS, our parliamentary colleague. It makes a mockery of the rule of law in Europe. I & others will not be standing by while Member States distort the EU to carry out a vendetta against political opponents. https://t.co/MFzoN1Kr7Q
The Council of Europe @coe has officially called on #Spain to release #Catalonia’s political prisoners and withdraw the extradition requests for their exiled colleagues.

President and MEP @KRLS has been arrested in Alguer, Sardinia tonight upon his arrival at the airport although there's no active EAW against him. Either Italian Police made a mistake or Spain's Supreme Court has lied to the Court of Justice of the EU. Scandalous. #FreePuigdemont
As extreme and unjust as it sounds. Quasi-judicial bureaucracy used to exact severe financial penalties against individuals for simply participating years ago in Catalan efforts at self-government. Brutal repressive tactics show how insecure individuals are before the state.
Normally I would not be posting personal developments on this website, but in this case I have a pressing concern. My dad, Spanish economist Andreu Mas-Colell, is dealing with an incredibly difficult and unjust situation. 1/
The @coe Committee on Legal Affairs calls for release of jailed Catalan independence leaders and for the European Arrest Warrants for exiled politicians to be withdrawn.
“Mere expression of pro-independence views is not a ground for criminal prosecution”.

Mads Andenas, former chair of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, calls the sedition convictions over the #Catalan independence referendum represent "an abuse of the judicial system".

To the Spanish authorities, Jordi Cuixart, a Catalan separatist leader, is a dangerous criminal jailed for supporting a failed independence bid in his region. But to his supporters, and to many foreign countries, he is a political prisoner. https://t.co/WWKXzH294a
According to the civil society organisation @omnium, 2,850 people have so far suffered retaliation from #Spain —be it exile, prison, or prosecution— for their role in #Catalonia's push for independence.
@catalannews made a thorough summary👇

Det her er et demokratisk problem for socialdemokraterne. Der er tale om folkevalgte politikere dømt for at foretage sig noget af det mest demokratiske man kan forestille sig - afholde en folkeafstemning hvor den catalanske befolkning fik lov at ytre deres holdning. Pinligt.
Det er et kæmpe svigt af demokratiet og ytringsfriheden at et flertal i EP har stemt for at fjerne immuniteten fra vores catalanske kollegaer. Spørgsmålet om Cataloniens fremtid skal afgøres gennem demokratisk dialog - ik’ med fængsel og vold! https://t.co/N3IIdZNQjk #dkpol#eudk
»Det her er et kæmpesvigt af Europa-Parlamentet. Det bliver svært at tage os seriøst, når vi i fremtiden kritiserer andre for ikke at overholde menneskerettighederne« siger @nvillumsen i artiklen her om situationen i Catalonien. Jeg er helt enig med ham. https://t.co/45RfTPDPQ6
Shameful decision from the European Parliament. Majority votes to strip our catalan colleagues of their immunity. This is a disgrace! Democracy and freedom of speech are under attack. But positive that 248 MEPs stood against the pressure and defended democracy. #Catalonia#eudk
