Guilty of Democracy!

We are at a crucial political moment for the future of Catalonia. As stated by the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Mr. Artur Mas, Â exceptional moments demands exceptional decisions.
The President has called Catalans to a peaceful democratic exercise as simple and as clear as to vote to decide if we want an Independent state for Catalonia
This exercise of democracy is attracting a number of furious attacks against our country and our democratically elected President who has been brought to the Courts under the charges of rebelion and sedition.
Reagrupament Independentista (RCAT), as a consequence, has decided to back our President, and to submit to the Courts a declaration of self-incrimination.
This declaration states that “We (the undersigned) incriminate ourselves of the same charges brought against the President of Catalonia, and ask, to the Judges that, if a criminal process is follow against him, to be accused by exactly the same charges of sedition and rebellion and also to be tried in the same cause“.
RCAT also makes a public call to all Catalan citizens, civil society, organisations and political parties to also self-incriminate themselves as a prove to support the President.
Anyone willing to self-incriminate in those terms has to submitt a letter of self-incrimination to the Chamber of Civil and Penal Matters of the Catalonia Superior Court of Justice, located at the Barcelona Palace of Justice.
