Liz Castro, pro-independence activist (in English): "The ballot box
inside a cage is a poetic protest, It's a way of visually saying our
votes, our ballots are in prison, we are not allowed to express them."

Liz Castro, pro-independence activist (in English): "The Scottish
people wanted to be able to decide their own future and they were
fortunate enough to be part of a country that recognized their right to
talk about their own future and the President, the Prime Minister of the
UK David Cameron said 'I could have blocked that vote but I didn't
because I'm a democrat.' I would like to see Mr Rajoy come to the same
conclusion"

SCRIPT
Pro-independence
activists placed a ballot box in a cage in front of la Sagrada Familia
cathedral in Barcelona, Thursday to raise awareness about what they
consider a denial of their right to vote over Catalan independence.
Protesters shared out papers to locals and foreigners to explain their
campaign, that the participant Liz Castro defines as a "poetic protest"
to express that their "votes are in prison" and that they "are not
allowed to express them". Castro also pointed out that she "would like
to see Rajoy" emulating British PM David Cameron in his agreeing to hold
a vote over Scottish independence.
The performance is part of
the campaign "Muts i a la gabia" (Mute and caged), which has taken place
all over Catalonia since Monday evening. The Spanish Constitutional
Court suspended the consultation over Catalan independence Monday, due
to take place November 9, after accepting an appeal presented by the
Spanish government to block it.
