Dear Dr. Klinkers,

Thank you for this information on the Citizens' Convention that the Federal Alliance of European Federalists (FAEF) is organising in response to the EU-Conference on the future of Europe. I shall disseminate this information, despite my deep, serious misgivings.

Over 3,300 Catalans face trials in relation to our bid to become independent. As you know, on October 1 2017, and despite Spanish police violence on a large scale, the Catalan people (residents in Catalonia willing to decide our political future) voted massively in favour of their independence. Afterwards, president Tusk persuaded president Puigdemont not to apply the Law, and promised he would advise the Spanish government to negotiate a solution. This never happened, with the harsh, unconstitutional measures that primer minister Rajoy decided to take once the Catalan parliament had indeed declared the independence of Catalonia. This repression continues unabated.

Given the utter failure of the institutions of the European Union (except for the Court of Justice) to uphold and defend the rights of the people of Catalona, I, a staunch supporter until then of the Union, that has prevented a European war for the longest period since the middle ages, am in no way inclined to contribute to deciding the future of the European Union. I hope you understand, Dr. Klinkers.
