On October 1, 2017, Catalonia held its referendum for self-determination in which more than two million people participated, 90% of whom voted for independence. The Spanish state security forces caused more than a thousand injuries.
On October 27, 2017 the Catalan government proclaimed the Republic, the same day Spain applied Article 155 of the Constitution against Catalonia. Since then more than 2,500 people have been repressed, the wounded number close to 1,500.
9 political leaders were sentenced to 100 years in prison. President Puigdemont and 6 other politicians chose exile. There have been nearly 300 arrests, and hundreds of people are currently under investigation.
However, the Catalan people, led by the legitimate President and MEP Carles Puigdemont, continue to stand firm in their peaceful struggle with the ultimate aim of making the Catalan Republic effective.
We shall overcome! illustrates these facts lived in Catalonia during the last two and a half years in a musical key.
