Drets

Drets is a Catalan association founded on 28 October 2014 by a group of lawyers, with the stated objective of legally defending Catalan society against attacks on the Catalan language and culture. The founding members include Sergi Blazquez Quevedo, Xavier Pareja Cozcolluela, Maria Vila Redon, Ramon Estebe Blanch, Carles Mundó Blanch, Marc Marsal Ferret, Agustí Carles Garau, Jaume Barroso Lòpez, Eva Labarta Ferrer, Josep De Luis Ferrer and Benet Salellas Vilar. The organisation is based in Catalonia, Spain, and operates primarily through legal complaints and court actions. Drets first gained attention with a complaint against Paco Marhuenda, director of the newspaper La Razón, for publishing photographs of identity documents of judges who were drafting a proposed Catalan constitution. In March 2015, the association announced it would file a complaint against mockery on social media regarding the deaths of Catalans on Germanwings flight 9525. In January 2016, it reported that of 277 tweets reported for Catalanophobia, only one had resulted in legal action. In May 2016, Drets succeeded through an appeal to Madrid's administrative court number 11 in allowing the display of estelades (Catalan independence flags) at the Copa del Rey football final between Sevilla CF and FC Barcelona, held in Madrid on 22 May. In 2017, the association was awarded the Memorial Francesc Macià prize by the Josep Irla Foundation for its fight for respect for fundamental rights and public freedoms of Catalan citizens, governors and institutions. As a legal advocacy organisation, Drets does not sell products or operate as a commercial brand in the traditional sense, but it functions as a trademarked entity providing legal defence services and advocacy for Catalan language and culture.
