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

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.
