The Representation Office of Catalonia in Germany had chosen for the
occasion the House of the Press, the headquarters of the main international
media of the German capital. The call of the press conference to assess
yesterday’s sentence had been sent, as usual, to both the German media and the
Foreign Press Association, which brings together permanent correspondents in
Germany. And in room 0107 a breakfast with fresh croissants, fruit salad, coffee
and drinks had been arranged for journalists. But if on previous occasions
calls like this had received a wide response from the German media, this time
the external communication effort was completely ignored. Only a German
journalist has attended the event, a freelance that has published articles in
Junge Welt, a radical left-wing newspaper that functions as a cooperative. The
number of people displaced from the Office of Representation of Catalonia to
the House of the Press to attend the media therefore multiplied their
representatives sixfold.
After a speech by the director of the Office, Maria Kapretz, in which she has
denounced that civil liberties are violated in Spain and that there is “a
justice of two classes for the benefit of the elites”, has given way to the
questions. The only assistant journalist has been interested in the steps to
follow from now on, to which Ignacio Portela has responded that appeal for
amparo and Strasbourg Court. As there were no more questions, the act concluded
fifteen minutes after it began.
