Bloque Nacionalista Galego (BNG) Solidarity with Catalonia and its Mayors


THE mayors of the BNG make public, through a statement, their support and solidarity with the  mayors of Catalonia that is defending the democratic rights of their people, their nation and respecting the right of Catalan society to decide their future .

Their struggle is also our struggle. It is discussing something more than the right to decide in Catalonia, the rights and freedoms of all of us are also being discussed.

Catalonia will not resign itself to being what they let it be and what the Catalan people will decide on. From the Galician councils we represent we reiterate our support and express our willingness to contribute to the advancement of the Galician people in the conquest of a new institutional framework that guarantees the full capacity to decide on our affairs, depending on the interests of the Galician people to be able to articulate economic, social and cultural development policies that guarantee the progress and welfare of the population as a whole.

SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY OF THE MAYORS  OF THE BNG WITH THE CATALONIA

"We want to express our solidarity with the immense majority of Catalan councils that from diverse and plural positions of the Catalan society have decided to take a step forward and defend their dignity as a people, defend democracy and the ballot box against the tide."

The mayors of the BNG affirm in the statement that the Catalan Councils are giving a lesson of dignity, commitment, to be at the service of their people, "which we want to emphasize and applaud."

From the Galician Councils we represent, we want to express our support for the legitimacy of the aspirations for change and overcoming the current political framework that Catalan society is demanding; And as Democrats, we reject the refusal of the Spanish State to allow expression of the Catalan popular will in the referendum on October 1.

RESISTANCE OF THE  CATALAN AGAINST THE JUDICIAL AND POLITICAL OPPRESSION

The resistance of the Catalan people against all the use of the judicial and police apparatus of the State is being admirable. Also the one of the Mayors who are not intimidated before the threats of the Office of the Public Prosecutor's Office and remain faithful to the commitment with their people. A commitment to move towards a new institutional framework based on the exercise of sovereignty to build a better country.

As Democrats, we are in favor of the right of every nation to be able to freely and democratically decide their future.
