Let Catalonia Vote

Viac o knihe

In this book, the author employs two main lines of work. On one hand, he utilizes his personal relationships, established since 2009 as a Catalan MEP, with ambassadors, high-ranking officials of the European Commission, other MEPs, Brussels think tanks, and global journalists present in the community capital, who have shown a discreet but significant interest in the Catalan process. On the other hand, he provides a chronological analysis of the process in the international press, which has evolved from initial neutrality and curiosity to a fairly explicit sympathy after 9N, mainly due to the peaceful, democratic, civic, and festive nature of the Catalan process, in stark contrast to the denialist and immobilist stance of both the Spanish government and centralist parties.
