massive day, cross debates
There was a large pro-independence demonstration. The JxCat-ERC-PSOE contacts for the investiture and the amnesty have generated different opinions. A roadmap for the breakup is needed.
During the Day There were actions throughout the Catalan territory. The largest mobilization was called by the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) Claiming the strike is a necessity, with the slogan “Via Fora!”. According to the organizers there were 800.000 people, according to the Urban Guard 115.000. The truth is that it was a massive independence demonstration. After the slogans "Freedom, language, country and sovereignty, Four columns were formed that converged on Plaza España, renowned First of October by the ANC, where its president Dolors Feliu closed the event. Miles of banderas esteladas They provided independence colors, political differences provided the nuances.
Investiture and amnesty in debate
At the event, Feliu criticized the dialogue with the PSOE and pointed out ERC and JxCat for “whitewash the Spanish State”. The ANC has long proposed “Either independence or elections” That is why he mentioned the possibility of forming a “civic list” opposition. President Aragonese, leaders and members of ERC and JxCat were in different columns and criticized each other, on the basis that both share the same negotiating line with the oppressors. It is a fact that, although they were not rebuked for "Botiflers", The negotiation for a partial amnesty in exchange for Sánchez's investiture does not generate the same approval across the entire spectrum of the independence movement..
An intense day
From Socialism and Freedom (SOL), We participate in the event that ARRAN convenes every year on Ferran Street, for the punishment of the murderers of Gustau Muñoz. On this occasion Marc Muñoz took the floor (Gustav's brother), Javier Almazan (Collective for the Forgotten of the Transition) and Vidal Aragones (former CUP deputy), among other political and social fighters.
In the afternoon we accompanied the massive concentration called by the ANC. Later we participated in the march and event in the Plaza Comercial del Born, carried out by the CUP and the anti-capitalist independence left with the motto: “We are a people that fights, “We are Catalan Countries”. On that occasion the policy was denounced "fish in the cave" 1 to which ERC and Junts are willing so that Sánchez continues in Moncloa. On the day we distributed pamphlets and offered the magazine Revolución Permanente “Imperialist hegemony in dispute” from International Socialist League (LIS).
The Day passed, the debates continue
The demands of former president Carles Puigdemont relocated the most heartfelt Catalan demands on the political stage, but not as part of a roadmap with mobilization and self-organization towards the rupture, but rather contacts so that Sánchez continues in Moncloa. In the middle of this mess, It is risky to predict if there will be an investiture or new elections and who would win them. What is sure, is that it is necessary to postulate a fundamental exit.
False expectations
We reject policies that lead to sustaining oppression with repression or pacts, as promoted by right-wing and progressive unionists: PP, Vox, summer, PSOE, We can and others. Nor should we sow false expectations that agreements with the defenders of the '78 regime or bourgeois investitures will clear the way for the Catalan Republic.. We promote class independence, the struggles for democratic and social rights and self-determination inextricably linked to socialism.
New alternatives
We raise the need to build a socialist and revolutionary organization and the call to form a far left front, headed by the CUP and Anticapitalists with other leftist expressions. These are some of the opinions detailed in the statement "Day 11 of September: Mobilization, breaking off, self-determination and socialism as another contribution to the ongoing debate.
1 “Fish in the cave": expression that refers to the way in which the former Catalan president of CiU, Jordi Pujol, obtained concessions in exchange for supporting the government in power in Madrid.
