EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by LLUIS GENE of Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the fervent spirit of pro-independence Catalan demonstrators in Barcelona on October 21,2017. The image showcases a sea of vibrant Estelada flags being waved passionately, symbolizing the unwavering support for separatist leaders Jordi Sanchez and Jordi Cuixart. The demonstration was held to express solidarity with these detained leaders who were facing investigation into sedition charges. However, amidst this charged atmosphere, Spain made an unprecedented announcement that it would take steps to dismiss Catalonia's separatist government and initiate fresh elections in a bid to prevent any declaration of independence. This photograph encapsulates the intensity and determination exhibited by those advocating for Catalonian autonomy. The horizontal composition allows us to fully comprehend the magnitude of the protest as countless flags fill every corner of the frame. Each flag represents not only a desire for self-governance but also serves as a visual testament to the unity among Catalans during this tumultuous period. LLUIS GENE skillfully captures both the energy and defiance present within this historic moment through his lens. This image serves as a reminder that political movements can galvanize ordinary citizens into action, even when faced with adversity or potential consequences.
