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.
The independence project in Catalonia is... a peaceful revolution, carried out in suit, shirt, and tie.
How can we later criticise other countries outside the European Union for adopting such measures to repress opponents when we are tolerating this inside the European Union with European citizens? Like me - I'm a European citizen.
If you're hungry, you know that you want to eat. You don't know what's on the menu - perhaps it's not your favorite dish - but you will eat.
There is no button that you push and the next day you become independent.
It's very irresponsible to deny the reality of a problem to see whether it might stop existing.
Whoever doesn't want to hear our voice needs to see a political otolaryngologist.
The return to normality is a defeat for the terrorists.
Spain's constitution was introduced to cement democracy after Franco's dictatorship, but this government is exploiting its wording as a means to deny us our right to vote.
To me, the European Union says there is a charter that protects you; you have fundamental rights, and they are staying silent when they are violating my fundamental rights.
He who calls a person a fascist for opposing independence is not only wrong but putting themselves on the same level as those who call us Nazis for wanting independence.
The alternative to independence is decline, because the relationship with the Spanish state is not good; everyone knows that.
I think, in Spain, they are too used to reaching the limits of democracy and then stepping over them.
No Catalan citizen and no Catalan company will leave the E.U. That is evident, and nobody can dispute it.
I could not disobey the will of the Catalan parliament.
What is more important? What the members of a politicised tribunal say, or what the citizens vote for? For me, it is clear.
They are very brave when they talk about other countries where they have no competencies, but where are they when we citizens need them? Is Europe's solution to Catalans to turn its back?
Catalan politics emancipated from the Spanish politics on September 27, 2015. Since then, we've acted with a sovereign mentality, political sovereignty.
There's no alternative to Catalan independence.
There's a serious and worrying return to the fall of democracy in Spain, and it's not just us who are realising that.
