Pro-independence entities, led by the ANC, have unveiled the details of the annual mobilization. In addition to the usual gathering in the Catalan capital, rallies have been established in Girona and Amposta. In Barcelona, two marches are planned to converge at Plaça de Catalunya for the main political event.
This year's slogan, 'Hi soc, hi som. Pel present i pel futur' (I am here, we are here. For the present and the future), will be represented through the two columns in Barcelona. One march, starting from Gran Via, will symbolize "the present" and be led by institutional representatives and international guests. The other, from the Cathedral Square via Via Laietana, will represent "the future" and be led by youth organizations.
In Amposta, two columns will meet at the suspension bridge, while Girona will host a single march starting from Plaça de Pompeu Fabra and ending at La Copa.
“"We are addressing the people, there are no invited or vetoed parties"
During the presentation at Plaça de Catalunya, the president of the ANC, Josep Vila, avoided discussing the participation of Aliança Catalana, emphasizing that the mobilization is by civil society. Vila highlighted the commitment of all conveners to human rights and democracy.
Vila also denounced a "planned process of denationalization" and "colonization" by the State, calling for pro-independence mobilization and reminding that "it is not enough to feel pro-independence, it is necessary to be present and involved".
