Catalunya 'independence' ribbons in London, Milan and Berlin

 

Catalunya 'independence' ribbons in London, Milan and Berlin

thinkSPAIN Team 18/12/2017

Catalunya 'independence' ribbons in London, Milan and Berlin
PRO-INDEPENDENCE activists have tied yellow ribbons to parts of European cities including London, Berlin and Milan – the colour now associated with support of Catalunya's secession from Spain and in tribute to the politicians who are currently in prison for their role in the disputed referendum.

One of the areas decorated with yellow loops is the Millennium Bridge in London, as shown in the picture above taken by the Catalunya News Agency (ACN), and also the Piazza XXV Aprile (April 25th Square) plus Berlin's Leopold-Sedar-Senghor walkway.

They are the self-confessed work of the Committee for the Defence of the Republic [of Catalunya], or CDR, which says its aim is to 'drum up solidarity across Europe' for its cause.

Most European governments, including British prime minister Theresa May, have said they would not recognise Catalunya as a separate country and fully back the Spanish government's actions to prevent the independence move.

This said, it was recently reported that Dublin council had decided to fly a Catalunya flag from the city hall for the next month, covering the regional election period, in 'solidarity' with the region's separatists.
