Eusko Alkartasuna says the campaign, set up by the Catalunya National Assembly – whose leader Jordi Sànchez has, controversially, been remanded in custody without bail – and the Alianza Libre Europea, aims to get the other 27 EU member States to push Spanish president Mariano Rajoy into accepting 'international arbitration' over the situation in Catalunya.
“The political scenario in Catalunya not only affects the development of the right to decide, but also hits at the roots of democracy in the State of Spain and in the EU,” says Eusko Alkartasuna.
“Given the response that Basque society has given to the attacks against the people of Catalunya, its institutions and representatives, we are urging residents to get involved in the campaign aimed at making top political leaders in the EU fully aware of the reality in Catalunya.”
The party wants everyone to write to the other 27 heads of State en masse via the website Supportcatalonia.eu to convince them to tell Rajoy to agree to Europe's mediation to resolve the conflict in Spain's north-eastern region, and for them to condemn the police violence seen on the day of the 'banned' referendum, October 1.
But so far, the EU's Jean-Claude Juncker has said Europe will not get involved in the Catalunya situation, as it 'could make it even worse'.
