Today there is not a “general strike” in Catalonia but an “aturada de pais” (stop of the country) that is not technically a strike since the workers and public employees don’t lose money. So, obviously the “stop of the country” will be a successful day. Workers have a good incentive to take the day off since they will get their salary for participating in the rallies and will enjoy a free day where they can show their patriotism and belongingness to the community singing songs and waving nationalist flags.

Visca Catalunya!

hi guy… my sister will send you a pin with that Cuban inspired flag created at the beginning of XX century. That flag of the Catalan “nation” has only 100 years old. So old like the Catalan nation itself.
