• Politics Puigdemont ignores Sánchez: "At the Liceu you can listen to opera but a political message is sent to the Catalans in the Parliament"

Whoever is not with them is a "traitor", or in the Catalan version "botifler", and has a good reason for insults and expletives. This is what happens to most of the people who enter the Liceu theater, such as the former leader of Unió Ramon Espadaler or the lawyer and politician Miquel Roca, when they arrive as guests at the event organized by Pedro Sánchez in Barcelona under the title " Reunion: a project for the future for Spain ", in which it could specify pardons for sovereign leaders in prison convicted of sedition.

However, the most radical independence movement does not want pardons or dialogue with the Government and directly demands amnesty and independence. Some 500 people summoned by entities such as the ANC, Poble Lliure and Arran, linked to the CUP and several CDRs, protest for Sánchez's visit and they shout against all those who approach the event. From the Government they have already announced that they will not attend.

In addition to shouts of "amnesty and freedom", recalling the names of the prisoners, chants against the "occupation forces", insults and launching of smoke canisters, the protesters, who are in front of the theater, carry signs with the slogans' Ni pardos nor amnesty, independence 'and' Republic is freedom '. Òmnium Cultural has also displayed a banner in front of the Liceu and to avoid incidents, due to the crowding of people, the metro stop has been closed.

The Mossos have deployed an important operation of agents of the Anti-riot unit with agents on nearby rooftops as well as vans to prevent the passage of protesters, such as those summoned by the CUP with some deputies at the front, and have protected the arrival of some guests from the shouts of the crowd.

They have also placed vans in front of the theater to prevent the throwing of objects at the arrival of the delegation with Pedro Sánchez.

It is clear that the independence movement has wanted to show its rejection of the president's visit despite the fact that the mobilization has been less numerous than expected.
