The sculpture of the Sardana in Montjuic Mountain, Barcelona, has been vandalized twice in one week. The attack on the sculpture took place in two phases: first, two hands of one of the figures were broken and, one week later, the hands of the other 8 were broken. The sculpture of Josep Cañas, which consists of 8 dancers, was mutilated by Spaniards in 2002, one of the dancers was removed from the group. In October 2014 he also suffered an attack by Spanish Catalanophobics, this time 6 arms were broken.
The monument is a praise of the sardana, encourages regional folklore and has become a symbol of clandestine Catalanism in Barcelona. The pro Spanish mayorship elected by Catalunya en Comú (communists), PSOE (Socialists) and a split of far right C'anos party has been unable to restore the monument since two months.
