Police violence in Catalonia
Two Catalan voices during the controversial Referendum on 10/01/2017
“It’s being terrible, we are afraid but we want to vote… there are a lot of videos where you can see the Spanish police hitting elderly people and young people, women and men… But one of the hardest things I’ve received is an audio message with a girl who suffered the violence from the police. She says that the police has broken three fingers from one of her hands. And they’ve done it one by one. They pull her clothes out. People were waiting for the police with their hands up and they acted with violence no matter how. And the hardest part is that the Spanish government is saying that the police is acting in a proportional way and they say they are doing a good job. 337 people have been attended by hospitals.”
“It’s the Catalan hymn. We were singing it on my hometown in order to celebrate the end of the day. All along the day I passed from angry and frustrated to sad. But it the end, I feel hope, things are going to change. ’Cause de thing is that today, most of the people that weren’t coinvinced wether to stay or leave spain have just realised in what kind of country we are… and spain for catalans is pain.”
