El 9 de novembre, votaré per tu, Pepe!

El 9 de novembre va ser el dia. El dia de desafiar la tirania de l’estat del que està presoner el nostre país. Un estat que s’atreveix a dir què podem i què no podem fer. Cada cop que Catalunya alça la veu, la seva llei és capaç d’anar contra tota ètica i moral.

A volar més de 1400 Km per ser-hi. A votar per plantar cara. Pels que ja no hi sou. Pels que no hi podeu assistir. Però sobretot, a votar per la veu de tot un poble que desperta per alliberar-se d’un malson.

It's interesting how among every single Anglophone newspaper website I checked in Canada (CBC, The Star, Globe and Mail, National Post, Ottawa Citizen, Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun, Toronto Sun), there is not a single mention of the Catalan independence vote that occurred today on their home pages.

I check the Francophone newspapers (La Presse, Le Devoir, Radio-Canada, JdM, JdQ) and it's everywhere in the headlines.

Today's event was quite significant for Catalonia, Spain, and Europe... and not a single peep from the medias serving millions of people in the English-speaking parts of Canada. Yet every site, both Anglo and Franco, were ablaze during the Scottish referendum just two months ago.

Interesting, to say the least.

Catalonia Update #9N2014

But when I turned the corner to visit my first polling station, the illusion was dispersed: there was a line of people stretching around the block to…

So guys, it's serious.

Sí-sí = yes for state, yes for independence Sí-no = yes for state, no for independence No = no to all (status quo)

Just look at sí-sí being so ahead now.

It's beautiful.

I'm sorry if I seem a little pissed off by the fact that this website, in which we are used to post our opinions and express what we think is unfair to the whole world, has completely ignored one of the current polemics in the world; which is now happening in my country. •Unfair •Antidemocratic •Repressive This is how more than 2 million people in Catalunya feel about Spain. Stop ignoring it: read about it and spread the word around the world. #9N #Catalunya

Today I have made use of my right to voice my opinion and I voted despite the decisions of Spain's Central Government and, even if they say it has no value, it's a big step and it just felt so right and good.
