Greeting from Spain. We imagine that
some of you have been concerned by the political unrest in northeast Spain
(Catalunya). The Catalunya independence movement in the Barcelona area is a
politically charged but largely peaceful movement. There have been
several very large, but mostly peaceful demonstrations, which are called
“manifestations” in Catalan. Some of the demonstrations are focused on
unity, keeping Catalunya part of Spain; some of the protests are for
independence. The Spanish central government has removed the president of
Catalunya, President Puigdemont, from power. He and some of his cabinet
have moved to Belgium, and still encourage a peaceful movement. New
elections are scheduled for December 21, when a new president and cabinet will
be elected for the Catalan region.
We have encouraged our missionaries
to avoid large crowds, but these political movements have had very little
impact on the everyday life here in Barcelona. Tourism continues
unabated. Shopping and school continue unabated, and again, we have not
seen any changes in life here in the Barcelona area.
The only violence we have been aware
of was on October 1st when the vote was held for the referendum on
independence. It was a Sunday and the missionaries were in their church
meetings. There were some very disturbing images of police handling
voting crowds with violence that day. Fortunately, we have seen
nothing like that since.
We continue to encourage our
missionaries to be vigilant, to be aware of their environment, and to avoid
large crowds. We are in regular contact with the Church’s Security
Department, which continues to watch this situation very closely, as well as
the U.S. Embassy in Madrid. Please understand that the safety of your sons and
daughters are our greatest concern, and we will do whatever is necessary to
ensure they stay safe.
Sincerely,
President and Hermana Dayton
