The Catalan National Assembly (ANC) and the Council for the Republic organized a demonstration in Barcelona on February 7, 2026 to protest the critical state of the Rodalies commuter rail network.

The protest began at 12:15 PM from the Rafael Casanova monument, located on Ronda de Sant Pere in Barcelona. The main objective of the mobilization was to denounce years of underinvestment and neglect by the Spanish State in the commuter rail infrastructure.

Enough! Only way, Independence

The slogan chosen by the organizers, 'Enough! Only way, Independence', underscores their position that achieving independence is the only effective solution to resolve the ongoing Rodalies crisis in Catalonia.
The march route passed through key city points such as Urquinaona square and Via Laietana, concluding at the central Plaça Sant Jaume. Furthermore, the organizers criticized user platforms for scheduling a second protest five hours later, accusing them of “counter-programming” their event.
