Several Catalan towns have taken
down Spanish flags on Friday.
This was after the region’s
parliament voted in favour of independence from Spain.
Spain’s flags were taken down in
towns such as Sabadell, Catalonia’s fifth-largest city, and of Girona, whose
former mayor is Catalan President, Carles Puigdemont.
Similar actions were taken in
other municipalities such as Figueres, Vic and Tortosa, but not in the regional
capital of Barcelona, whose mayor, Ada Colau, is against unilateral secession.
In a social media message, Colau
criticised the independence declaration and the Spanish government’s decision
to counter it with the suspension of Catalan self-government.
“We’re a majority, in Catalonia
and in Spain, who want a halt to the confrontation and call for dialogue,
common sense and an agreed solution to take hold,’’ she wrote.
