The Mossos d'Escuadra have dissolved around 12:30 pm on Monday the concentration that has brought together nearly 200 people from the Catalan student movement in front of the Government Delegation in Catalonia against the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC) that requires teaching at least 25% of teaching hours in Spanish.
They have also released the four students who had chained themselves to some drums at the gates of the government headquarters. The protest, which began around 8:45 a.m., has triggered a sit-in, in which slogans have also been launched against the University Coexistence Law (LCU).
The demonstration brought together members of the Student Union of the Catalan Countries (Sepc) and the Coordinator of Interuniversity Assemblies (CAI), among others. The Mossos have encapsulated the protesters to prevent more people from joining the protest.
Students have displayed banners that read: Defensem el català: desobeïm! (Let's defend Catalan: let's disobey), Our language, our future (Our language, our future), and slogans such as Your coexistence, our repression (Your coexistence, our repression) and Out of the occupation forces have been shouted Outside the occupation forces).
In a manifesto, the Sepc has explained that they are protesting against the impositions and "repression" of the Spanish State, in relation to the sentence of 25% of Castilian and the LCU. They have also called to defend a public education and in Catalan and to disobedience.
The CAI spokeswoman, Anna Martín, has assured in statements that the Spanish State wants to turn universities into an apolitical space, and has assured that because of the classrooms and the language they will disobey "the laws that are necessary".
The national spokeswoman for the SEPC, Marta Daviu, has pointed to the Spanish State as guilty of what they consider "an offensive against Catalan".
