Quim Torra returns to defend the violent route to achieve independence. The president of the Generalitat has recommended to independence "to listen carefully to the reflections" of the American sociologist Paul Engler, who in an interview with the digital Wilaweb defends that the Catalans "will have to accept high levels of sacrifice" if they want to get secession "and argues that "Dying as a martyr is inherent in the winning movements." "It is not wanted to happen, but it is inevitable once the tension increases," adds the author of the Manual of Civil Disobedience .

Engler also argues that the independence movement must "polarize much more and scale much more" if it wants to achieve its separatist objective. "You have to make people who are neutral become passively favorable and then actively favorable. To the point of going out," defends the sociologist.

The substitute of Carles Puigdemont has supported violence to impose self-determination on more occasions, such as when he suggested that Catalonia should imitate the "Slovenian way" to certify its separation from the rest of Spain.

It should also be remembered how Torra has repeatedly pulled the actions of the CDR. The support for the radicals began on the first anniversary of the 1-O, when, while Catalonia collapsed them with road and rail cuts, they were encouraged by microphone in hand with their famous "squeeze, you do well to squeeze." He continued with the public applause in the Parlament to those arrested for planning terrorist actions to respond to the sentence and remains in force with support for protests against the Supreme Court, which resulted in serious altercations in Barcelona. Altercados that the president of the Generalitat refused to condemn initially and that only ended up censoring after several nights of violence in the Catalan capital.
