⬛️⬜️The budget agreement in Catalonia shows again the limits of autonomy under Spain. A nation cannot fully protect its language, manage its resources or decide its future without full political sovereignty. Catalonia needs the tools of a state. www.catalannews.com/politics/ite...

⬛️⬜️ On 25 Apr 1950 the Republic of South Moluccas was proclaimed. Last week in Amsterdam, the 75th anniversary of the first boat carrying Moluccan soldiers was commemorated. Authorities banned Moluccan flags but activists still raised them. In Indonesia, they'd be jailed for it.

⬛️⬜️Historic #CorrellenguaAgermanat protesting threat to our language leaves powerful images across the Catalan Countries. Over 1,500km & hundreds of towns united by one flame, language & a shared voice. From Prada to Alguer: Catalan lives in our people. www.vilaweb.cat/noticies/ima...

⬛️⬜️The only police officer investigated for digital espionage against pro-independence activists has been granted amnesty. While activists face trial, those responsible for surveillance are absolved—another example of double standards and lack of accountability. alerta.cat/lunic-mosso-...

⬛️⬜️18 Catalan pro-indy activists face trial for a 2018 protest against Societat Civil Catalana—a unionist lobby group backed by Spanish political parties. Prosecutors seek up to 2½ yrs in prison despite no injury reports. Peaceful protest, criminalised🔗 www.vilaweb.cat/noticies/jut...

⬛️⬜️Leaders like @claudiasheinbaum.bsky.social defend self-determination, freedom & dignity of peoples in the “progressive” leaders’ summit hosted in Barcelona. Yet Spain denies Catalonia these same principles. No double standards: rights promoted abroad must also be respected at home.

The discussions focused on police violence & the role of politically motivated policing, highlighting the need for accountability.
