A thousand people gather in Sant Vicenç dels Horts marking 100 days of jail for VP Oriol Junqueras

More than 1000 people gathered in Sant Vicenç dels Horts where Junqueras was mayor yesterday night. The town centre quickly became a sea of yellow, the colour which has become a symbol of solidarity with jailed Catalan leaders. In the main square, in front of the town hall, more than a thousand people gathered for the event organized by the Free Junqueras Platform, and attended by various key political figures such as the president of the parliament, Roger Torrent, the former head of Podem-Catalunya, Albano-Dante Fachin, the former CUP MP Albert Botran, and Esquerra's (ERC) Marta Rovira, to name a few.

There "are not enough prisons to close an entire town" they said; Catalonia's Parliament Speaker Roger Torrent also made a speech asking people to not be "deceived" until Junqueras and the other "political prisoners" are released.
