La Vanguardia

has decided to dispense with the contributions of the journalist Pilar Rahola in its pages.

The Catalan signed this Sunday her last opinion column in the newspaper, as she herself has announced through her social networks, for "ideological and political reasons."

That has been at least the explanation that Rahola herself, very close to the environment of the

escaped

former

president

, Carles Puigdemont, has provided this Monday. "Yes,

La Vanguardia will

not publish any more articles of mine. Yes, it is for ideological and political reasons. No, I have not accepted the requests to change my ideas or to soften them. No, it is not the first attempt to dismiss me. Yes, the decision it comes from the top of everything, "said the columnist next to a photo of her latest article.

In it, Rahola, under the title

Catalunya,

stated that "the defense of independence is a matter for the independentistas, but the defense of Catalonia should be everyone's business, and here is the silence and servitude of many."

"From this silence and this servitude our decadence is nourished", continued the Catalan opinion.

La

Vanguardia's

decision

was communicated to Rahola yesterday through an email, who after hearing the announcement was "proud to be part of a noble list of independentistas"

that have been removed from the Catalan newspaper in recent times.

In that list, the columnist has introduced Albert Sánchez Piñol, Xavier Sala i Martin, Xavier Antich, Jordi Graupera or Salvador Cardús.

Once the victim herself made her dismissal public on social networks, her Twitter account began to fill with messages of encouragement from pro-independence politicians from the Junts per Catalunya and Carles Puigdemont environment.

"Dear Pilar, thank you for writing as a free woman until the last day. Some, in Madrid and also nearby, love you in silence or with a mute. Keep writing, keep talking. With agreements and disagreements, we cannot be if we are not free ", affirmed the own ex-

president

escaped in Waterloo.
