For years I was a starry without independence. bar The flag of my country, he said, is the flag and my country bar is strong enough bar to not require any change in the standard colors. bar Catalan separatism was strange to think that it was necessary to add a star to the flag and a triangle --dels colors fos-- while the independence of other peoples had enough hoisting the national bar flag. Sure, I knew that was not the starry flag also born then, as evidenced by a collectable picture I bought bar at a market in old Trouillas bar and is part of a series published in the thirties for chocolate Juncosa. Illustrates the conclusion of the September Eleventh, bar 1932 with the offering to the statue of Rafael Casanova (no. 112-D series History of Catalonia). The text on the back of the picture says: 'This tribute to Chief Casanova contrasted bar with the dictatorial period in which they would receive only saber police.' In the picture there are flags, Spanish Republican flags and the foreground, a starry. This was the first to prick my heart. Would have done, too, in those years if you had known this text, Catalan Victor mentions his diary in 1923: "I forgot to say: flying days ago by ladder without being importunada by anyone The flag separatist blazing sun their rods blood and gold, but the immaculate whiteness bar of the Lone Star toward the earth, but still trembling in the air as if he had just come off the sky '(' Victor Catalan, a biography unusual 'Louis and Albert Rivas, ed. Bull, 2012).
The process, in my case, has been slow; the process of realizing bar that the starry says something about us, the Catalan flag that perhaps could only make sense. And this is the country we want to build beyond the strict Catalan nation, if understood only as an inheritance coming of immaculate white ever. Or, more precisely, that the nation is not only made by those who feel descendants of Wilfred the Hairy, but also for those who, unfortunately, today still do not know who was Lluís Companys, bar but wish to participate in the construction of an independent country. The remarkable originality of the project shows that Catalan is a country that is not enough to build a free country, you also need a social project and a social contract, which agreement must include project and whoever, bar whether whoever. This view is not ethnically, after post-nationalist, that makes us so strong, and the ability to analyze the foggy Espanyol, who think the grills nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Catalan unifying project, summarized in the now famous phrase "No matter where you come from, but where to go ', is an extreme modernity because it avoids essentialism and everything that might have something bar to do with near or far the blood. A project to again be what we never had to be stopped, but without excluding anyone. So this project opens a space of opportunity that no other independence recent breakthrough does not seem able to even.
Thus, the Catalan project should have an emblem that went beyond bar the strict historical four bars, which reunited her place of honor as she floats alone in the Presidential Palace of the Republic Catalan and many other United Nations . Catalonia build the needed colors that allowed everyone to identify with them and merge them with total independence of their own origins, bar colors symbolize able to encop emotion and pragmatism, on this country and its future. The Starry amply fulfills this mission and it is a source bar of joy and hope.
