"Mr President, tomorrow – 11 September – is the National Day of Catalonia. Thousands of people will be on the streets with a clear demand, namely, that Catalonia become a state integrated into the European Union. This is a public outcry that has bypassed the political parties to become a general demand. Hundreds of Senyeras (the Catalan flag) will march alongside European flags. The state model that emerged after 40 years of Francoism is perceived to be exhausted. The EU should step up and assume that there are new social and national realities in this dynamic project that insist on an accommodation which is different from the current one. Many of the people who will be on the streets tomorrow have not felt the need to make this demand before, and yet tomorrow they will join a demonstration that is expected to be massive and peaceful. These people have high expectations in the European project and in its values. I hope the European institutions will live up to these expectations and will respond responsibly and fairly. Therefore, dear colleagues, I ask you to listen carefully to this legitimate and democratic demand, and I urge you to be prepared and ready to face a process that will surely be complex but that also seems to be unstoppable."@en1
