The independence movement is losing a sheet with every wash. After losing its absolute majority in Parliament, disenchantment is also taking its toll on the streets. The independence movement has once again brought thousands of people out onto the streets for the Diada, but the discouragement caused by the paralysis of the process has resulted in a drop in participation. While last year 60,000 people demonstrated in downtown Barcelona, ​​this year it was half that number, around 28,000 according to the Guardia Urbana (City Police). The ANC (National Action Party) estimated the number of attendees at 100,000 in Barcelona, ​​​​Girona, ​​and Tortosa and emphasized that bad weather could also have influenced the decline in the mobilization. Be that as it may, the independence movement is going through a difficult time.
