Description

The protests against the high-voltage line between 1997 and 1998 reflect the capacity of mobilization of Catalan citizens in the face of projects perceived as aggressive for the territory. This document shows how civil society defended the landscape, health and the sustainable energy model, anticipating debates that are central to Europe today. The mobilization connects with the European values ​​of citizen participation, sustainability and respect for the environment. It is a testimony to how Catalonia has been a pioneer in the defense of the territory and in the construction of a shared ecological awareness.
