Read in Catalan

Dam Square, in the historical centre of Amsterdam, played host this Saturday afternoon to a large number of supporters of Catalan independence. The demonstrators met to defend the right to vote on 1st October. They sang the Catalan anthem, Els segadors and L'Estaca, a song by well-known Catalan artist Lluís Llach heard in many of the protests of the last week.

Attendees carried estelades (pro-independence "starred" flags) and posters.
