ANC (Assemblea Nacional Catalana)

The Assemblea Nacional Catalana (ANC) is a grassroots organization in Catalonia, Spain, founded in 2011. Its primary goal is to advocate for Catalan independence from Spain through peaceful, democratic means. The ANC promotes awareness and mobilization among supporters of Catalan nationalism, organizing events, campaigns, and demonstrations. It played a significant role in the push for a referendum on independence in 2017, which the Spanish government deemed illegal. The organization represents a broad coalition of Catalan civil society, uniting various political and social groups around the common goal of achieving self-determination for Catalonia.
