Catalonia: ANTARSYA denounces the extreme authoritarianism and the totalitarian actions of the Spanish government

ANTARSYA denounces the extreme authoritarianism and the totalitarian actions of the Spanish government against the regional authorities and the citizents of Catalonia, which aim to cancel the referendum which has been proclaimed for the 1st October, where the people of Catalonia will be able to decide on its independence from the Spanish state.

The unprecedent events with the national guard blocking the conduction of the referendum, suspending democratic freedoms and making arrests of politicians and citizents shows that democracy in the Spanish state and the European Union, is not just missing, but has been completely destroyed.

ANTARSYA sends a message of internationalist solidarity to the party of the radical left, CUP and its militants and demands the immediate stop of the siege of the national guard in its offices. We demand from the Spanish government to stop the oppression against the political freedom and operation of the CUP as well as the freedom of political action in Catalonia.
