Over 200,000 Catalans demonstrate in Barcelona














Hundreds of thousands of Catalans demonstrated peacefully for over three hours in the centre of Barcelona on Saturday December 1st 2007, to protest about the chaotic state of transport infrastructures in Catalonia, as a result of decades of under-investment by central government. Many also called for independence from Spain.

This was the largest demonstration in Barcelona since the massive one on February 18 2006, calling for respect for, and acknowledgement of, Catalonia's right to decide on its own future.

Sobirania i Progrés came out in force, alongside many dozens of other organisations.
