Catalan Independence: New UN Recognition Bid Launched

Catalan Independence Movement: New Proposal for UN Recognition Barcelona, Spain – Jordi Domingo, the newly appointed president of the Catalan Republic Council, has launched an ambitious initiative aimed at achieving international recognition of Catalan self-determination. In an exclusive interview with ElNacional.cat, Domingo outlined his plan, dubbed the 'National Pact,' which seeks to garner support from a majority of the United Nations. Domingo emphasized the historical context of this initiative, noting previous attempts to secure international recognition for Catalan independence. "This pact is a real attempt to get the UN to recognize the right of self-determination for Catalans," he stated. He also acknowledged the challenges, stating, "Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no pro-independence parliamentary majority or government in Catalonia, which would make things much easier." Despite these hurdles, Domingo expressed confidence in the potential success of the National Pact, emphasizing the need for strong national support to make it a reality. The plan's success hinges on building broad-based support within Catalonia and potentially influencing international opinion. The initiative represents a significant step in the ongoing Catalan independence movement, and its outcome will be closely watched by observers worldwide.
