The ANC calls for a "national pact of the civil movement" against the "inmobility of the parties"

A great “national pact of the civil movement for independence”, through entities and associations, to create a “network” that works for the independence objective beyond the parties. This is the path that Dolors Feliu, president of the ANC, proposed this Sunday at the closing of the National Conference of the Civil Independence Movement.

The event took place in Barcelona, ??as part of a meeting that began on Saturday with the aim of defining with 57 entities the necessary actions by pro-independence institutions and actors to make Catalonia “a free nation, a State”, Feliu has defended. .

Conducted by the actress Carme Sansa, this Sunday’s session included the interventions of the activist Anthony Sànchez; the economist and former deputy of the Parliament Uriel Bertran and the national secretary of the ANC Olga González, and with a dialogue between the director of the digital newspaper VilaWeb, Vicent Partal, and the independence activists Marcel Vivet and Àngels Martínez.

In the midst of an internal crisis in the ANC, after the resignation of a part of the members of the entity’s national secretariat, including its until recently vice-president, Jordi Pesarrodona, Feliu has alleged that the conference held this weekend was intended to pay a “ground fertile to make the independence”.

Feliu has opted to apply and learn “from the experiences of 1-O and the repression” and for the entities and pro-independence movements to coordinate, join forces without renouncing their respective approaches and act from the defense of self-determination and human rights .

The president of the ANC has claimed that “the concepts of democracy and civil disobedience” constitute the horizon toward which the entity wants to move and that collective work and synergies must be the backbone of the movement to strengthen it.

“We know where we are more than ever and we recognize ourselves in the objective of independence, which is already a lot, because sometimes objectives are confused”, considered Feliu, who hopes that the result of these conferences represents a new beginning, said .

Feliu has defended that it is essential to have an “inter-independence debate and act together to overcome this situation” and has ensured that the entity’s own roadmap includes the objective of articulating debates to weave networks and synergies between actors and independent entities.

According to the ANC leader, the sum of energies between entities of the civil independence movement has a “multiplier” result, so it is necessary to “give strength and continuity to this network.” “We must face the immobility of the parties from the civil world”, she has indicated, while she has stressed the need to reinforce the complicity between the entities and actors of the independence movement.

The entity plans to promote a pro-independence “civic list”, which could compete electorally with the parties, an idea that has generated internal discrepancies in the ANC, but which Feliu and his team continue to see as a real possibility if the pro-sovereignty formations do not assume a stronger commitment.

The most relevant contributions shared during this weekend will be collected in a document that will be sent to the participants and that will define the basic points to elaborate a National Pact of the Civil Movement for Independence, which for Feliu must be “a decisive tool” for achieve independence.

Among the speakers who have participated in some of the sessions this weekend are the ex-president of the entity Elisenda Paluzie; the former vice-president of the Parliament Josep Costa; the entrepreneur and president of the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, Mònica Roca and the professor of Sociology and activist Elisabet Almed, among others.
