New edition of the annual gathering of the three-branched pine

The three-branched pineis a  tree located in the countryside near the town of Berga in north-central Catalonia. It has long been regarded by Catalan people as representing the unity of the three "Catalan-speakinh Countries": Catalonia, valencian Country and Balearic Island. It has been the site of regular political-cultural gathering since 1904 but they were banned between 1924 and 1980 during the authoritarian and Fascist Spanish governments.

Yesterday around 400 people claimed for the freedom of Catalan political prisoners, the right of Catalonia to decide its own future and the brothership between catalan-speaking regions.
