The huge music festival, organised by Jerc (Joventuts d'Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya) is the biggest of it's kind it Catalunya. Jerc are the youth wing of Catalan Republican party Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya.
The 12th Annual festival attracted some 38,000 this year, as it continues to grow each year. The message was unmissable, as huge banners and art work covered the grounds of the festival; demanding the freedom and independence of Catalan Countries.
Mr McGibbon said,
"The mix of politics, music and culture is quite incredible. From huge rock concerts, to traditional Catalan music and dance, and of course, political debate."
"The event it self, staffed only by Jerc members (in addition to Red Cross and security staff), showed how a political organisation can mobilise to create a relevant and popular event highlighting the ambition of Catalan independence. Staff also included Jerc councillors and members of the Spanish and Catalan Parliaments."
McGibbon, who participated as an international guest in the main political rally of the festival, commented of Jerc,
"I would like to thank Jerc for their hospitality and compliment them on the leadership they are showing to young Catalan people. The dream of independence for Catalan Countries is very much alive!"
