Rally in Basque Country held in solidarity with Catalonia

Thousands of demonstrators marched in Basque Country on Saturday, expressing solidarity with a planned independence referendum for Catalonia.

Protestors waved Basque and Catalonian flags, and held banners reading “Supporting Catalonia, supporting democracy” in the city of San Sebastian.

Basque leader Arnaldo Otegi said the rally was in solidarity with the people of Catalonia and “people who are giving an important example in democracy in Europe and demanding the right to self-determination to decide whether they want to be independent or not”.
