 OpCatalunya started back on September 24 as a protest against Madrid  attempt to prevent the referendum.  The massive attack of this week  seems to be just a start in the collective effort to support the  referundum of Catalonia. Today, anonymous release an international  request for support in which they state: "As a result of this  repression and this regression towards the francoist dictatorship: in  the name of all the Catalan independence and democrats, Anonymous  Catalonia asks all the Anon of the world who are in favour of the  freedom of expression, the democracy and the peaceful dialogue, to  presist in the #FreeCatalonia operation until next Sunday 29 of October  to protest against the deliberate measure the spanish governement has so  far applied to the Catalan governement and people."
