The 2010 Catalan autonomy protest was a demonstration in central Barcelona on 10 July 2010 against limitations of the autonomy of Catalonia, and particularly against a recent decision of the Spanish Constitutional Court to annul or reinterpret several articles of the 2006 Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia.[1] The number of people taking part in the demonstration was estimated at between 1.1 million (according to the local police) and 1.5 million (according to the organisers),[2][3] while Madrid-based newspaper El País estimated the number of demonstrators at 425,000.[4] The mobilisation was described as "unprecedented" by the mayor of Barcelona.[5] The Barcelona daily newspaper El Periódico de Catalunya described it as "without a doubt one of the biggest protest marches that has ever occurred in Catalonia, possibly the biggest".[2] It is thought that the 2012 Catalan independence demonstration involved more people, but this protest brought the dispute to light in the world.
The demonstration was led by a banner with the slogan in Catalan Som una nació. Nosaltres decidim. (English: 'We are a nation. We decide.').
