Read in Catalan

The Council for the Republic, the body promoted by president in exile Carles Puigdemont and fired minister Toni Comín from Belgium, is now looking for international support. As such, it's launched versions of its website translated into five languages other than the original Catalan: Spanish, French, English, German and Italian (users can change language at the bottom left of the page). They've also announced that they'll soon add options for Occitan and Basque.

The Council currently has 26,000 members of the public registered, who have paid a minimum of 10 euros (£8.70; $11.40) each. Puigdemont has said that the body will become fully active "as soon as it has the backing of a million people". It follows a virtual model tried out in Estonia, in case of a hypothetical Russian invasion.

Tweet translation: The website of the Citizen Register is now available in 6 languages. Let your international friends know: in Catalonia, civil rights and social transformation have no borders. Soon in Occitan and Basque.
