With regards to the press release issued by the public prosecutor's office, the Government of Catalonia would like to clearly state that the only party responsible for authorizing access to public buildings is the Government of Catalonia itself, which has pursued this course of action in order to guarantee the exercise of the fundamental rights of freedom of expression and freedom of ideology

Accordingly, the volunteers involved in the participatory process, who have nothing to do with this authorization from the Government of Catalonia, are not obligated to present personal identification upon request and should be allowed to perform the tasks for which they have volunteered in their capacity as private citizens without any form of interference.

Moreover, the Government of Catalonia would like to reiterate that it has requested a clarification from the Constitutional Court concerning the scope of its suspension order against tomorrow's participatory process. At this time, the Court has yet to provide a response.
