ANC Escòcia

⬛⬜ @assemblea president @epaluzie at the @ScotNational: "The arguments for independence and the legitimacy of the Catalan self-determination process have been reinforced since October 2017, including the non-progress of home rule and Spain's violation of fundamental rights."

⬛️⬜️ @chrisbambery: "We need to talk about how #Spain's judiciary is chosen, because it is quite shocking that politically appointed judges are taking political decisions, and then happens that laws passed in the Catalan Parliament are struck down. This can't happen in #Europe"

⬛️⬜️@epaluzie:"#Spain didn't send the army during the referendum, but it was substituted by the judiciary, which never transitioned from the dictatorship, and is extremely conservative. And we can see it with the European Arrest Warrants: they cannot win outside of their borders"

⬛️⬜️ @Epaluzie: "Economic arguments for #Catalan independence are many, but there are plenty of other arguments that we can use, and that Scotland used during the 2014 #referendum. Now sadly the news are dominated by #humanrights abuses, but we need to bring those arguments back"

Come on folks now is the chance to ask your questions, or maybe u have a good comment?

⬛️⬜️ @Epaluzie: "Allies in the struggle for #selfdetermination can be found everywhere, there are many immigrant communities in #Catalonia, many minorities that have been discriminated against, and some, like Latin Americans, that have historic grievances with #Spain."

⬛️⬜️ @Epaluzie: "There are many ways of being linked to the European Union, and even if Spain applied a veto to #Catalonia or #Scotland, there are bilateral agreements that don't need absolute majorities. We could be easier and closer partners to the #EU than the #UK."

⬛️⬜️ #Scottish broadcaster @chrisbambery: "The #British wouldn't be as stupid to react to #Scottish independence as #Spain's authorities did with #Catalans. The #Spanish elites are still too much influenced by the Franco regime, and that makes them make mistakes."

⬛️⬜️ @assemblea President @Epaluzie: "The 2017 #Catalan independence referendum was a key victory, and arguments in favor of independence has been reinforced since, with #Spain's violation of fundamental rights, with the wave of political repression vs the #Catalan people."

@chrisbambery "The level of prosecution in Catalonia is incredibly high, over 3000 are prosectued for things like hanging flags on public buildings" Follow the event here youtu.be/IgZnD-p8S28 @assemblea_int

⬛️⬜️ @scotnational journalist @National_Greg: "Our ethos at @scotnational has always been to respect the people's right to #selfdetermination. We embraced Catalan self-determination and we were there on the referendum, but we didn't suffer what those voters suffered in 2017."
