The National Day of Catalonia is celebrated every year on September 11 to commemorate the defeat of 1714 in the War of Succession, when Barcelona, ​​with an army defender of the Archduke Carlos de Austria, gave up before the troops of Felipe V de Borbón. The Bourbon victory led to the abolition of Catalan institutions after the promulgation of the Nueva Planta New Decree in 1716.

September 11 has become a day of defense of the rights and freedoms of Catalonia and in recent times has gained more prominence, since in 2012 began to convene that day multitudinous pro-independence demonstrations.

The global pandemic has changed the plans for this year's celebration: will be a demonstration or will all events be suspended? Will distance and sanitary measures be guaranteed?

If all these measures are met, everyone will be able to participate and celebrate this important day!
