Background
The resolution adopted by the Catalan parliament was voted on 20 October 2021. Its preamble stressed the progressive character of the Rojava revolution’s “democratic confederalism” and the opportunity the strong network of grassroots solidarity between Catalonia and Kurdistan offers “to explore and advance towards forms of reconstruction distant from those of unbridled capitalism”.
It also invoked Catalonia’s example of council-to-council support for Bosnia in the 1990s Yugoslav civil war and the parliament’s 2019-2022 Master Plan for Development and Cooperation, which requires “special attention to the Sahrawi, Palestinian and Kurdish peoples”.
