The so-called Via Catalana (Catalan Way) will travel across
Catalonia's coast, going through 86 villages and towns. The human chain
will exceed 400 kilometres (248.55 miles).
The Catalan Way towards independence was presented by the Catalan
National Assembly (ANC), which is the main driving force of the human
chain that will expand across Catalonia on September 11th.
The political goal of this act is to accelerate the call for the popular
referendum and to internationalize the Catalans’ will, making the human
chain the precursor of independence.
The president of the ANC, Carme Forcadell, explained that "the
demonstration of last September 11th was perfect" and that "this year, a
step forward is needed." "The Catalan Way is a political and logistical
challenge," she added. Forcadell stressed that “the Catalan Way
represents the unity of the people in favour of the independence of
Catalonia" and demanded that the Catalans are allowed to "vote for
independence in a referendum as soon as possible."
The route will go across Catalonia's coast from Alcanar to el Pertús and
will allow people from the rest of the Catalan Countries and from the
whole world to join the chain. The human chain will exceed 400
kilometres and will cross 86 villages and towns. The Catalan Way has
been inspired by the Baltic Way, a human chain that connected Vilnius to
Tallinn via Riga in 1989, being the precursor of the independence of
the Baltic States.
