• Catalonia: Constitutionalism responds to separatist violence and demands the end of 'procés'
  • Pedro Sánchez.Instates Torra to telephone "the rest of the non-independent Catalan leaders"

There was fun. Also reflection. A common idea, but very different faces and voices among the 80,000 people attending the march of concord in Catalonia held today in Barcelona.

"I will continue fighting but I am pessimistic," says a businessman based in Barcelona for 20 years. "One of my daughters no longer feels Spanish and that hurts because this is a feeling that is lost if you are taught at school to hate Spain."

Luis and Josefina, school teachers in Barcelona, ​​know a lot about the academic subject, who have attended a demonstration with a friend. They don't like what they see in the classrooms today. Recently one of them used a word in Spanish by mistake and was censored by a couple of students. "It was shocking." It was as if he had smeared the Catalan language. "We want to claim that this demonstration is of people who want to be happy, peaceful, not confrontational. We get scared when Torra released the Slovenian way [a war of independence that cost 76 lives], it was not free, it was a trial, because he looks for a civil confrontation, " says Luis.

Two young Chinese women teach a Spanish flag.

This feeling is shared by the entrepreneur in his field. "Look, they pressure you with strikes because if you open you are against them. I am not against anyone: my clients are of any political condition. I am fed up, but change this I leave here in 15 years. They call us cowards and they say that Columbus is Catalan "

"Even the eggs in question to manipulate the LGTBI collective," says a girl with the rainbow flag fed up with the process. Less visceral is an old man who carries a poster made by himself with a brief "Thank you." I just wanted to thank everyone present for their presence and support.

Chinese citizens walk the Paseo de Gracia dressed in Spanish flags. Why? "We study here and we love this country. We are in favor of the unity of Spain as we are of the unity of our country."

Luis comes from Puigcerdà (Gerona). He wears a Union Jack tunic and carries a Spanish flag in his right hand. "I am a descendant of English and I have many friends there, apart from my political family, who love Spain and wanted me to represent them with their flag today. I do it with pride. Luis 'the Englishman' is antiBrexit and antiCatexit." let's live in peace and be happy. "

Well, that.
