Description

This speech, delivered within the framework of the Federal Union of European Nationalities, is a direct testimony of the activism of the Catalan exile on the international scene. The event, held in 1964, shows how Catalan representatives used European forums to denounce the Franco dictatorship and defend the national and cultural rights of Catalonia. The document reflects the will to participate in the construction of a Europe based on diversity, democracy and respect for stateless peoples. It is part of the theme of international relations and politics, and highlights the diplomacy of exile as a tool of resistance and as a bridge between Catalonia and European movements for the defense of human rights and national minorities.
