Zehn internationale Pers\u00f6nlichkeiten, darunter zwei Friedensnobelpreistr\u00e4ger, sind die Erstunterzeichnerinnen eines Aufrufs<\/a> an die spanische Regierung, die katalanische Bev\u00f6lkerung \u00fcber die Zukunft des Landes abstimmen zu lassen. Dies ist der Wortlaut des Dokuments, das auf Katalanisch, Kastilisch, Englisch und Franz\u00f6sisch ver\u00f6ffentlicht wurde:<\/p>\n

A majority of Catalans have repeatedly expressed in different ways the wish to exercise their democratic right to vote on their political future.<\/p>\n

This strong demand to vote is the result of longstanding dissension between the governments of Catalonia and Spain over the degree of cultural, political, and financial autonomy that Catalans should enjoy, despite several attempts to reach an acceptable solution.<\/p>\n

As the precedents in Quebec and Scotland show, the best way to solve legitimate internal disputes is to employ the tools of democracy. To prevent the Catalans from voting seems to contradict the principles that inspire democratic societies.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, we call on the Spanish government and institutions and their Catalan counterparts to work together to allow the citizens of Catalonia to vote on their political future and then negotiate in good faith based on the result.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wie die Pr\u00e4zedenzf\u00e4lle in Qu\u00e9bec und Schottland zeigten, b\u00f6ten demokratische Mittel den besten Weg zur L\u00f6sung legitimer Auseinandersetzungen. Die Katalanen davon abzuhalten, sich in einer Abstimmung zu \u00e4u\u00dfern, widerspreche den Grunds\u00e4tzen demokratischer Gesellschaften.<\/p>\n
