Description

This image, captured between 1979 and 1987, documents a demonstration for Catalonia’s self-determination in the city of Girona, at a key moment in the Spanish democratic transition. This period was marked by the recovery of the institutions of self-government and by an intense debate on the political future of Catalonia within Spain and Europe. The photographic document reflects citizen mobilization in defense of collective rights and national identity, with a clear European projection. The vindication of the right to decide, which has lasted until today, connects with the democratic and participation values ​​that underpin the European Union.
