The unilateral independence movement wants to take advantage of the Spanish-French summit on January 19 in Barcelona to "defend the country against some delusional gravediggers", as stated by the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont who urged the sovereignist mobilization against the presence in the Catalan capital of Spanish President Pedro Sánchez, and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.

"They have worked to demobilize and break unity, which have been two great tools to defend Catalonia against a State that discriminates against us and harms us for the fact of being Catalan. On the 19th, let us unite and mobilize to defend the country against some delusional gravediggers ", assured Puigdemont on social networks demanding that the independence movement protest before the summit.

However, he did not offer more details, so in the next few days the followers of the former Catalan president who fled in Belgium will have to specify what this mobilization consists of.

For the moment, the head of the office of the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont, Josep Lluís Alay, also used the networks to ensure that "this umpteenth version of the Treaty of the Pyrenees that Spain and France are preparing to sign in Barcelona on January 19 should have a forceful Catalan response on the street. Enough of humiliations".

Catalonia will be the scene for the second time of these summits between Spain and France that began to be held in 1987. They are organized alternately in one country or another and the last one was in the French town of Montauban in March 2021, so this time it was Spain's turn to celebrate it and Barcelona was chosen for that.
