Spanish authorities have seized more than 1 million fliers and pamphlets promoting Catalonia’s upcoming independence referendum. The seizure is part of a widespread crackdown against the referendum on October 1, which Spain says is illegal. The Spanish government has also opened a criminal investigation into the more than 700 Catalan mayors who are helping hold the referendum. On Sunday, referendum supporters rallied in Barcelona. This is Jordi Aldroguer.

Jordi Aldroguer: “Without fear, we are not afraid of police. We are here, all of us, and much more. And next October 1, we will go to vote peacefully and calmly, as always, for our freedom, our nation, justice, democracy and freedom of expression.”
