Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) - Irlanda / Irlanda per la Independència de Catalunya
- El 24 d'abril del 2010 vam organitzar la consulta a Irlanda i el resultat va ser: Independència! - Cada any convoquem els catalans residents a Irlanda durant la Diada NAcional - Ara, mes que mai seguim al peu del canó per la llibertat de Catalunya des d'Irlanda! Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) - Irlanda
La plataforma “Irlanda per la Independència de Catalunya” - ANC (Assemblea Nacional Catalana) Irlanda, el nostre objectiu és ajudar a Catalunya a aconseguir la independència.
On Sunday 01st
of September 2013 the Catalan community living in Ireland
(ANC Ireland and the Catalan
Council of Ireland)
organised a successful Human Chain in support of independence of Catalonia. The Dublin
human chain coincided with more than 100 similar other events
taking place world wide and a massive one that will take place in Catalonia
next September 11th.
It has been a
very successful event with more than 300 attendees, exceeding by far the
organisers expectations with people from all nationalities and ages gathered in
front of the Dublin’s
General Post Office (GPO), O’Connell
Street. As an act of friendliness and gratitude
towards their adopted country, Catalans welcomed
other Irish who wished to join in and be a part of the “human chain” today. Among them many of themthe member of Dáil
Éireann, Seán Crowe, TD for the constituency of Dublin South West.
The organisers have chosen the General Post
Office (GPO) in Dublin
to hold the event as the building is a symbol of Irish independence and freedom,
for its historic relevance. The people who gathered together, sang several
songs of freedom together with the Catalan national anthem and chanting
independence songs. The event was conducted in a festive yet civilised
atmosphere and passers by showed great interest and congratulated the
organisers. This event has been video recorded and subsequently will be shown
throughout most of the national media in Catalonia.
The Catalan
community in Ireland gives
its full support to independence for Catalonia
and today united its hands peacefully showing support to Catalonia and its desire for independence.
Today’s event was also useful to explain to Irish citizens and tourists why the
people of Catalonia want their independence from
Spain
as soon as possible.
Currently, the Catalan government is not allowed to hold a
referendum of independence or decide any relevant issues as it is subordinated
to the Spanish government and does not have full power of decision. Catalans
want to participate democratically in a referendum for independence. This
referendum could show then, that Catalonia
is mature enough to govern itself with its own voice in the European Union and
the United Nations.
However, as a referendum is not allowed by the Spanish government,
the social movement “Catalan National Assembly” http://catalanassembly.org/ who last 11th September
mobilised around one and a half million people during a peaceful rally
in Barcelona as a show of solidarity with the Catalan Government and in support
of the proposed Referendum, are organizing a “human chain” of over 400,000
persons holding hands that will peacefully stretch along the entire country
from north to south (about 400
Km) on 11 September 2013, Catalonia’s national day. More
than 200 foreign journalists have requested to be able to cover the Catalan Way,
creating a much higher international interest than for last year’s huge rally.
Like
the Catalan Community in Ireland
completed today, many Catalan communities abroad are also participating in this
serene symbolic gesture creating their own “human chains” in more than 100
cities around the globe. New York, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Edinburgh, Hong
Kong, Beijing, Bangkok, Los Angeles, Boston, Rome, Miami, Frankfurt, Vancouver
… and many more !!! Such as a similar event thatwill
also be held here in Cork
next week:
·Cork Saturday, 7th of
September at 17h pm Grand Parade, in front of Cork City Library
The ANC Ireland wants to say to all those who attended the event and the ones who have shown interest in this rather unusual representation of good will where many people peacefully holded
hands for a minute or two to symbolise their support of a nation’s democratic
right to decide its future by means of a Referendum.”

ANC Ireland together with the Catalan Council of Ireland and Catalansadublin.com will organise on the 01st of September at the GPO - Oconnell Street in Dublin at 17.15 pm
Basically, we will do a Human chain ( peaceful demonstration) to manifest our desire for Catalonia to become a fully independent country and we thought that given the fact that Ireland and Catalonia have a very similar background many Irish people from your organisation would be interested in joining us.
so what is this all about:
The Catalan Way… also abroad!
If you follow the process of Catalan self-determination, you must be aware of the human chain for independence that the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) is preparing for the upcoming September 11:The Catalan Way. This initiative will be the second mass participation event organized by the ANC after last year’s demonstration, when one and a half million people took to the streets of Barcelona to demand the constitution of an independent Catalan state. This time, hundreds of thousands of Catalans will join their hands to form a vast human chain across the country, from north to south, following the Catalan coastline.But that’s not all! We want this human chain to extend beyond the borders of our country and reach everyone who is a friend of Catalonia and supports the people’s right of self-determination. Between August 1 and September 11, theANC Catalan Foreign Assembliesare organizing the International Catalan Way, small scale replicas of the human chain in Catalonia in the main cities of the world. So you might be able to join us very soon just around the corner where you live! This will be a unique event to celebrate freedom and solidarity. Don’t miss it!
The images recorded in the events held until September 3 will be edited in a video that the ANC will use to promote the Catalan Way, to encourage participation, and to internationalise the issue of Catalan self-determination, seeking the support and complicity of other countries. If you would like to be part of Catalan history and join your hands with your Catalan neighbours and friends, just fill out theregistration form.
Below you will find a list of locations with the International Catalan Way events that have already been confirmed. But there are many more being prepared in other places of the world.
Making way in the world!
So if you want to join us, please do so by registering at:
Day: 01 of September 2013 Time: 17:14 Lloc:GPO - General Post Office, O'connell Street.
Recommendations: We have already registered more than 90 people and as we intend to record a video, ideally everyone should wear a yellow t-shit and if possible bring Catalan and/or Irish flags. When we finish we will go to have some drinks at: The Heritage Pub Parnell Inn
Molts de vosaltres viatjareu a Catalunya aquest 11 de setembre per ser
una baula més de la Via Catalana cap a la Independència. Però serem
molts més els que ho viurem des de lluny. Aquesta distància no ha de
fer-nos menys protagonistes d'un esdeveniment que farà història.
Per
això, des de l'Assembla Nacional Catalana a Irlanda (ANC Irlanda), també organitzarem la
cadena humana a Dublín amb tots els catalans i simpatitzants de Catalunya disposats
a unir les seves mans per mostrar al món que la nostra determinació
d'esdevenir un estat independent és ferma, pacífica i majoritària.
Us passarem més informació en breu de l'event a Dublín però de moment, per a poder-vos
contactar amb els detalls finals, us animem a registrar-vos a través del següent
