National Day demonstration to feature a giant yellow fluorescent plus sign in Barcelona

Positive is the way its organisers describe the demonstration planned for this year’s September 11 celebration on Catalonia’s national day. As every year since up to two million people turned out on the streets of Barcelona in 2012 to demand the right to self-determination, a mass protest has been organised for what is locally known as La Diada. This year with the protestors forming a giant plus sign, while wearing fluorescent yellow t-shirts printed with the word ‘yes’ in more than a dozen world languages.
