"301 actos de violencia golpista en 2018"

He llegit amb interès que una entitat autoanomenada Cataluña Somos Todos "entrega al Relator de la ONU los 301 actos de violencia golpista perpetrados en 2018 por el separatismo catalán".

Essent el moviment independentista un moviment que SEMPRE ha defensat la no violència i la resistència passiva, m'ha preocupat la notícia i he investigat el contingut de l'esmentat informe, sobre els "301 actos de violencia golpista".

No cal dir que rebutjo tot acte de violència, d'intolerància. Dit això, us convido a llegir-los. Tots 301. I si voleu, en comentem alguns...

Violència

2. Nuestro legislador, al recoger en la descripción ldel tipo penal el adverbio que modaliza la acción (violentamente), elude inmrporar al tipo penal el sustantivo que se sugiere. Actúa Violentamente quien Io hace de manera violenta, lo que no presenta un contenido tipico plenamente coincidente con actuar con violencia.

In his 2 March 2017 article "El somni de les bullangues", Francesc de Dalmases writes (my translation):

The dream of bullangues
Francesc de Dalmases
2 March 2017

During the second half of the 19th century, some Catalan cities were the scene of "bullangues". Under the name of bullangues, we recall the unsuccessful progressive riots that took place because of the broken pprogressive omises and impositions of the Spanish government.

Among the promoters of bullangues were workers' movements and the most modern sectors of the Catalan petty bourgeoisie, unhappy with the Jacobin conception of the State.

When we recall the bullangues, we talk about violent insurgencies with immediate effects on the everyday life of the cities wheve they happened: the murder of high-ranking military officers, the demolition of monarchic symbols, the torching of churches and the destruction of factories and the industrialists' buildings.

 To quash these popular uprisings, the Spanish government exerted a brutal repression against the workers' movements and pursued with surgical precision and martial determination the petty bourgeoisie that had sponsored or accompanied them.

These insurrections, however, had a Lampedusian touch to them. What was to be a new fire petered out. Moreover, it was the perfect storm for the government of Madrid to establish even more rigid military and political control systems in the main Catalan cities. In other words, not only did we go back to the initial situation, but state power and control over the municipalities of the Principality was also consolidated, extended and rooted.

In Catalonia in 2017 we have observed with astonishment how people, from prosecutor Magdali to "terriodista" ("terrovmongering journalist") Inda, have had the complicity of most of the Spanish media, with good exceptions like eldiario.es, to try to build a narrative of latent violence within the framework and the ranks of the supporters of independence.

Events are falsely attibuted to the independence movement to support this narrative. Here is a good example:

British police chief rejects claim Catalan separatists were violent

Graham Keeley, MadridApril 8 2019, 12:01am, The TimesSpanish police closed polling stations on referendum day, but the “vast majority of protesters can be assessed as non-violent”

The vast majority of protesters did not use violence against police during the Catalan independence referendum campaign, according to an independent report by a senior British police officer.
The findings of Sir Hugh Orde, a former chief constable with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and expert on public order, contradict the narrative presented by the prosecution in the trial of 12 separatist leaders.

The Spanish government has been at pains to show it is a fair trial, but it has been criticised for its heavy handedness in what is essentially a political dispute. The prosecution alleges that the Catalan leaders led violent clashes with police before and during the referendum vote on October 1, 2017.

The report, which was commissioned by the defence,…
