Los 6 de Zaragoza

It was the 19th of January of 2019 when a VOX rally (Spanish fascist political party) took place in Zaragoza, and although many people attended the meeting, many more also protested against it. Six young people were arrested in that protest, and the policemen accused them of public disorder. The only other evidence submitted, some security camera footage, was rejected, as "they weren't recognizable", and so, their innocence could not be proved.

In 2021, 4 of them faced 6 years in prison for it, 3 for public disorder and 3 more for an attack to authority. The other two, being minors, were fined with an 11.000€ fine each.

Now, in 2024, their sentences are of 4 years and 9 months, and they will be admitted to jail between tomorrow and the day after (15-16 April 2024), unless they are pardoned. Yesterday, a protest took place in Zaragoza, led by the families of the people admitted into prison, along with the parents of another young antifascist from Badalona also in prison for protesting against fascism, and the Altsasu Gurasoak platform from Euskal Herria.

The "most progressive [Spanish] government in history" will be the one to decide if these people are indulted, after having received support from over 10000 people and organizations signing the petition for a pardon.

The platform "Libertad 6 de Zaragoza" is also raising money to pay for the fines that go along with the prison sentences.

Sorry if someone has already asked this, but do you have any suggestion(s) for any Catalan documentaries? History, culture, anything?

Hello! Since you're asking in English, I'm assuming you need the documentaries to be in English or have English subtitles, right?

I only know of one documentary about Catalans that was made by foreigners and for foreigners. It's a Spanish documentary on Netflix called "Two Catalonias" (or "Dos Cataluñas", in Spanish) which is about the people in favour and against independence. It was made in 2018, so it's outdated with what happened since, which is a lot. I watched the documentary when it came out and it's... ehh. I don't think the filmmakers are good, because they just let politicians speak and don't fact-check anything. In my opinion, after someone makes a statement, it should be verified. It's not, so there are conservatives saying things that are lies and it's shown as if it were true. But if you want to watch something and don't speak Catalan, it can be a place to start.

That being said, there are many documentaries about the history, culture, society, etc of Catalan people, but they are made by Catalans so they are in Catalan and very few of them have English subtitles.

TV3 (Catalonia’s TV channel) is trying out a button to activate automatically translated subtitles to English and Spanish, but so far this option is only available in very few videos. It’s a shame, because TV3 uploads all their content to be streamed for free from their website and they make a lot of great documentaries. I’m not sure what the criteria for which videos have the option is, because there are different episodes from the same show that will have the option and others will not...

Anyway, I’ve been looking and here I’ll link you to some documentaries and programmes that have the English subtitles option (activate it with the button at the bottom-right of the screen).

Documentaries:

El futur del català [Catalan’s future]: this talks about how and why the Catalan language is loosing speakers and where it’s headed.

Mil anys de presó, adéu a la mili [A thousand years of prison, goodbye to the military service]: people who took part in the movement to abolish the mandatory military service talk about how they did it and its consequences. This is a very relevant social movement that stretched since the 70s until the 2000s and which had a positive result for all of Spain but was mostly done in Catalonia.

Els nens de la riuada [The flood children]: in 1962, there was one of the worst floods in history. Somehow, when the houses were destroyed, many children disappeared and families have not been able to find them ever again. This documentary researches into what happened to those children, who the fascist dictatorship gave away to adoptive families. It seems it could be part of the regime’s policy of stealing children from working-class, suspected leftist and/or Catalanist families and giving them to “correct” Catholic/fascist families.

Pressumptes culpables: els altres Altsasu [Allegedly guilty: the other Altsasus]: Altsasu is a famous case where a group of Basque boys were sentenced to prison for having a pub fight with a group of Spanish policemen. They received solidarity from many places, but one of the places that mobilized the most was Catalonia. In this documentary, they come here to meet other people who are in similar situations. It’s a good documentary to see some cases of how the Spanish judicial system treats political dissidence and national minorities.

Entre cendres [Among ashes]: this follows the effects of a destructive forest fire that took place in the south of Catalonia in 2019. It looks for the reasons why every year we have so many horrible fires that burn and destroy our land. It goes into reasons of global warming, the abandonment of agriculture, and how people from rural areas are pressured to move to the cities.

La Pilarín [Pilarín]: this is a very sweet documentary about Pilarín Bayés, a Catalan illustrator who has worked for decades illustrating for children. She is very loved in our country, I think at one point someone calls her the grandmother of us all and that is true!

I diem prou! [And we say: enough!]: this one shows the points of view of five women who are survivors of sexual violence and what they go through.

Jo sí que et crec [I do believe you]: this documentary talks about why are women not believed when they report having suffered sexual violence. It’s not in any way a phenomenon unique to Catalan culture, but it’s definitely a real problem we have like the rest of the world and this documentary was made here showing experiences of people from here, so I’ll link it as well.

Dona, vostè no té res! [Woman, you’re alright!]: this one talks about obstetric violence, that is, the violence that women suffer in healthcare. It deals mostly with giving birth and mental health. Again, not an exclusive problem of ours, but it is especially revelant here: consider that the UN has condemned Spain because some of the procedures that pregnant people are put through when giving birth are considered torture.

On a different site, I’ve also been able to find L’Alguer, un pentagrama com un carrer [L’Alguer, a staff like a street] with English subtitles. This documentary is about an initiative to save the Alguerese dialect of Catalan through music. It talks about the situation of Alguerese Catalan (spoken in Sardinia, Italy) and how they did this programme where children sang with musicians from L’Alguer and from around the Catalan Countries.

Episodes:

Quanta guerra! - This show is still airing weekly, so there are only 3 episodes so far but will add more, so who knows if more episodes will have subtitles but for now it’s this one. This show is about the experiences of ordinary people in the Civil War. On each episode, the show invites a famous person from Catalonia (this episode linked is a comedian) who doesn’t know what one of their grandparents did in the war (it’s a taboo topic here that many people never talked about to their children) and the show researches about them to find out their experience. Some episodes can be very emotional, but I really recommend all the show.

Lastly, I want to recommend one last show. It’s not a documentary, but it’s a great way to learn about Catalonia. It’s a show called El foraster [The Foreigner]. A famous comedian travels to a different village in each episode. He spends a few days there meeting the local people and then does a “stand-up comedy” about it. I think he’s very talented, because he can have moments that are very funny and moments that he’s very respectful if someone talks about their experiences with, for example, the war or the dictatorship or other difficult moments. It’s an interesting show because you will hear the experiences and memories of people of all ages who live in these villages.

A Punt (the Valencian channel) and IB3 (the channel from the Balearic Islands) don’t seem to have anything with English subtitles. If any of my followers has anything more to add, as always feel welcome to do so.

I hope this was helpful and that you’ll find something that is interesting to you, and I hope they some day apply that automatic subtitle option to all the videos!

¿Se está gestando un "nuevo Altsasu" en Navarra?

La Sala de lo Penal de la Audiencia Nacional condenó en su día a ocho jóvenes de Altsasu a penas que oscilaban entre los 2 y los 13 años por un delito de odio y lesiones tras un altercado con dos miembros de la Guardia Civil y sus parejas que derivó en un parte médico de “lesiones menores” y que en su día fue calificado por el coronel jefe de la Guardia Civil de Navarra como “delitos de odio”.La…

“Momotxorro” is a character from the Basque carnivals, originally from the village of Altsasu. Covered in blood and equipped with pitchforks, they stampede down the streets intimidating whoever is in their way;they later calm down during a dance and gather around a bonfire.

This tradition, like many other elements of Basque and other iberian cultures, was banned for 40 years during the Francoist dictatorship of Spain. The carnivals of Altsasu were recovered in the 1980s.

¿Qué pasó en Altsasua?

¿QUE OCURRIÓ?:

Hace un año, ocurrió un caso de que dos jóvenes de un pueblo llamado Altsasua en Navarra, España, agredieron a un par de guardias civiles, esto se llevo a los tribunales y al final dichos jóvenes fueron a la cárcel con una pena de dos años, por agresión y terrorismo.

MENTIRAS:

Viendo el resumen de este caso, vamos a desmontar las mentiras que se cuentan entre los progres sobre este caso:

"Aquello solo fue una pelea entre adolescentes": Eso no fue una pelea, según vemos en el resumen de los hechos, fueron un par de jóvenes que agredieron a un par de guardias civiles por el hecho de ser guardias civiles.

"Decir que es terrorismo es abuso del poder": Fue terrorismo porque según se descubrió, esos jóvenes eran pro-etarras y lo hicieron por ETA, por lo tanto si es terrorismo, ya que simpatizaron con la banda terrorista ETA.

"La pena es muy excesiva para una simple agresión": Aquí en España si tu agredes a un guardia civil o a un policía, se considera un delito grave, a si que si a eso le sumas que son simpatizantes de ETA, entonces la pena es justa por los crímenes que cometieron.

Como veis no son muchas mentiras, pero ya sabéis, conociendo a los progres con un par de mentiras lo tienen todo solucionado para poder protestar, pero en fin, si te ha gustado lo que has leído, estaría bien que lo compartieras o hablaras de ello con quien conozcas, y si eres un progre ofendidito, tira tu insulto donde te plazca. Un saludo y nos vemos en el próximo post.
