CATALONIA
President of Catalonia, “Torra told The Sunday National: “Unfortunately
some Spaniards use this word, Nazi, to [describe] many of us who are
defending the independence of Catalonia.
“We Catalans have had a
turbulent history and have suffered two dictatorships in the last
century – two fascist regimes – many people died because the actions of
Franco, many had to exile, many Spaniards and Catalans at the end of the
Spanish Civil War fought with the Resistance in France and many were moved to the Nazi concentration camps.
“So, for a Catalan this is the worst word anyone can use, it really cuts them.”
