Catalan Civil Society Excludes Aliança Catalana in Decentralized Diada Demonstrations

They plan simultaneous 17:14 departures in three cities on September 11 to demand Catalan language protections, fiscal justice, recognition as a nation.

Overview

  • The Assemblea Nacional Catalana, Òmnium Cultural, AMI, Consell de la República, Intersindical and CIEMEN will launch simultaneous marches in Barcelona, Girona and Tortosa under the slogan “Más motivos que nunca.”
  • Organizers have set a clear red line by barring Aliança Catalana over rhetoric judged incompatible with human rights and democratic principles.
  • The movement emphasizes an inclusive Catalan identity that welcomes supporters regardless of origin and rejects xenophobic discourse.
  • Core demands center on defending the Catalan language, ending the perceived fiscal imbalance with Spain known as the “espolio fiscal,” and securing formal recognition of Catalonia as a nation.
  • A recent Centre d’Estudis d’Opinió poll reports 32% support for independence, the highest level since 2023.
