Next Saturday a huge demonstration is due in Barcelona and 6 of December in Brussels.

Tried to reach you by email but site did not allow it

I edit Social Europe and was sent the link to your piece on Catalonia by a contributor Jodri Angusto who found it on Medium. We would be interested in reproducing it if that were possible with full attribution, of course….

You may have seen this open letter to Tusk/Juncker on current Spanish events: https://www.opendemocracy.net/can-europe-make-it/barbara-spinelli-et-al/upholding-rule-of-law-in-european-union

Thanks and best wishes

Was voted to be the President of the ANC. Now would be she the one in jail. She is from the United States, as you.
I dont know why Jordi Sanchez became president of the ANC, but i guess that was a luck, now that we have seen the consequences.
She could talk or make an statement to the anglosphere better than others. but i dont know what kind of relation has she now in that organization.

In light of the continually slanted reporting by the likes of Raphael Minder* in The New York Times, your amassing of facts is particularly valuable.

*He outdoes himself today with his citing of “violent clashes” between voters and police on October 1, as though both were violent, and he even links to the right-wing Madrid daily, ABC.
