Jordi Sànchez, Catalan Political Prisoner in Hunger Strike: "I have never embarked on a hunger strike and you don't know what you might find there"

Jordi Sànchez explains that  to denounce the attitude taken by Spain's Constitutional Court which systematically blocks their appeals this "from prison, the only course that is open is a hunger strike. And the moment to do it is now", he emphasises. “The aim is to stir consciences and attract attention. Put the spotlight on an unjust situation”, he explains.

The former leader of the Catalan National Assembly denies completely that it was the ANC that proposed this strike. "That's a lie", he says. The president of the organization, Elisenda Paluzie, has also denied this publicly. They know that this kind of news intoxication forms part of the strategy to break the unity of the independence movement. To discredit it. The battle of the prisoners is open on many fronts. And it has too many trenches.

The political parties were informed at the last moment. Exiled president Carles Puigdemont and president Quim Torra have known for just a few days. Are you afraid? “It is not a matter of fear. I have never embarked on a hunger strike and you don't know what you might find there. Nothing has been improvised. This isn't a game,” assures Sànchez.
