Òmnium Cultural General Assembly a clear success

Jailed activist Jordi Cuixart was been re-elected as president of Òmnium Cultural, one of Catalonia’s culture grassroots organizations. It was closed by the Spanish Franco's dictatorship but neither the Fascist dictator jailed its members. 

Cuixart  was preemptively sent to prison for his role in the independence bid on October 16—eight months ago today. Cuixart received 28,183 votes in Òmnium’s general assembly on Saturday in Barcelona, which saw the highest turnout in the organization’s history.Òmnium announced that it has already 120,000 members. In a message sent from prison, Cuixart urged Democracy supporters to “continue carrying the banner for dialogue.”
