The ANC reactivates its international campaign to discredit the State

The Catalan National Assembly (ANC) has reactivated its international campaign to try to discredit the Spanish judicial system and seek complicity for independence abroad. Initiated at the beginning of the year under the name Make a move (move, in English), the campaign had lowered its intensity since then, although the proximity of the Diada, on September 11, has caused them to start up again. On this occasion, with the distribution of propaganda, the dissemination of advertisements and the collection of signatures in large European capitals.

The first was Rome, where the ANC hired until August 8 advertising in the center of the city with slogans such as "self-determination is a right, not a crime." In addition, they distributed handbags to passersby by hand and collected signatures. In the coming months they plan to repeat experience in Berlin, Paris, Brussels or Geneva. To assume the cost of mobilization, the ANC also has a donation system through its website, between 20 and 1000 euros.

The Make a move campaign was launched in January with the aim of denouncing "human rights violations" by a State that uses "its deepest structures to combat a peaceful and democratic movement such as Catalan independence movement", they assure. One of his first initiatives was the creation of a video in which they equated the independence of Catalonia with great civil and democratic landmarks of history, such as the fight against racial segregation in the United States.

The ANC also tries to influence the position of the sovereign parties on the investiture of Pedro Sánchez, which they consider would be "a strategic error" for independence. In a communication sent yesterday through social networks, the ANC “outside” assemblies believe that if Sanchez recovers the Moncloa, “the independence movement will lose credibility” because of the image of “dialogue politician” that the acting president has before European states, in contrast to that of Mariano Rajoy. In addition, they advocate avoiding the "stability" of Spain to benefit independence: "An unstable Spain will stagger the entire European Union," they conclude.

The ANC has become a catalyst for the clashes in which the independence movement lives. Their positions, hard with the politicians who advocate to return to the path of dialogue with the State, have generated a phenomenon that, until now, was considered impossible, for a party in the Government to consider not going to the Diada, the main demonstration of force of secessionism since the beginning of the process.

Several ERC members have been critical of the ANC for its attacks on Republicans, located in the return to pragmatism in the face of the confrontational strategy of Carles Puigdemont and its entire environment, including the ANC. Their former spokesman in Congress, Joan Tardà, came to lash out at them for exercising "counterpower" before the government elected at the polls. A position that has been used by its partners in the Generalitat, Junts per Catalunya (JxCAT), to try to strengthen the support of the ANC. This was evidenced again yesterday by the Minister of Territory, Damià Calvet, who applauded the pressure that the social organization made on the partners of the Government to join its strategy of total breakdown. «« That the ANC says that we have to mobilize seems perfect, because it stresses us politicians. We would go wrong if everything were dictated from the governments. Wealth is the entities that watch over and act as counterpowers, ”he said in RAC1.
