Given the exceptional situation the Catalan society is living at the moment, and considering that the University of Barcelona is a committed institution to the civil values of participation and democracy, the governing team of the University of Barcelona wants to express:
- The need to defend Catalan institutions, fundamental rights and democracy,
- Our deepest worry regarding the violation of fundamental rights and democratic freedom which is taking place lately,
- The firm and convincing condemn on any detention or penalty for ideological reasons to any person or group, and especially to those who are members of the University of Barcelona,
- The rejection of the Spanish Government intervention on the Catalan Government, in particular the economic blockade, which affects the regular activity of public universities and research centers in Catalonia,
- The conviction that political problems should have an answer based on dialogue and not repression
- The need to have social harmony and security for all members of the university community.
These are the reasons why we demand bridges of dialogue to find a political solution that considers the expression of the general will through people's vote.
