The Catalan Way certified a record!


 


The Official World Record (OWR) certified the Catalan Way this week as the longest and the largest human chain in the European Union (over 2,000,000 people). Thus, the figures that the Spanish Minister Mr. Fernández Diaz gave (just over 400,000 people) were beyond impossible, they were ridiculous.

 
 
 
 
The OWR considered that the figure of 1,600,000 people was just under the actual figure. It also emphasised that only in Barcelona there were over 500,000 people, much more along the 400 kilometre (250 mile) Catalan Way which was in certain stretches tripled, and in urban areas the turnout was even higher. That is the reason why the OWR has certified that the Catalan Way had over 2,000,000 participants, well over that of the Baltic Way. We must point out all the figures from the Catalan regional Interior Department, the traffic collapse, the huge amount of tweets and the enormous audience of the Catalan national television’s (TV3) coverage of the event.


The Catalan Way will go down in history as a record: the hugest in the European Union. A peaceful way of over 400 kilometres.


These figures come to light while from the Kingdom of Spain aggressive, violent attitudes keep appearing over and over again: the attack on the Catalan Government Delegation in Madrid, the attack on the fire brigade in the city of Mataró, who had expressed their support for Catalan independence, and much more.
