A new chapter in the ANC rhetoric
The Catalan National Assembly (ANC) has decided to take a new direction in its communication, directly attacking the Mossos d’Esquadra, which are now labeled as ‘collaborators’. This strategy comes at a time when independence organizations and parties are in a difficult situation.
Repression denunciation: a revised speech
The ANC coordinator, Jordi Pesarrodona, has expressed concern about a supposed new repressive offensive against the independence movement. This complaint arises in the context of the trial affecting various activists related to the incidents of August 8, coinciding with the return of Carles Puigdemont.
Mobilization in support of the defendants
In response to this situation, the ANC, together with the CDRs and other groups, has organized a rally to show support those involved in the trial. In a recent video, Pesarrodona made a forceful speech against the police, pointing to the Mossos as agents of a state that pursues independence.
The narrative of the by
Pesarrodona referred to a ‘scary campaign’ that, according to him, seeks to silence the independence voices. In his words, he warned that these attempts to repression would not stop their struggle: ‘We know how to defend ourselves in the face of these attacks.’
A challenge in power
Finishing his speech in a challenging tone, Pesarrodona said that the fight for freedom of Catalonia will continue, despite the state’s efforts to disable the movement.
The ANC and its bond with Puigdemont
Despite the ANC’s attempts to be presented as an impartial entity, its alliance with Carles Puigdemont becomes more and more evident. In the past, the ANC stated that Puigdemont’s return had been a boost for the independence cause, although many independentists see him as a traitor.
The fall of independence
Surveys show a significant fall in support of independence, going from 48% to 38% in recent years. Despite this, figures like Puigdemont and Pesarrodona seem to cling to a speech that does not reson with the current reality.
Reflections on the future
As the ANC continues with its confrontation strategy, the uncertainty about the future of the independence movement intensifies. Social discontent can be a key factor in its next decisions, as the population seeks effective solutions to their daily concerns.
