Let Catalans Vote (in Catalan: Deixin votar els catalans) is an international support manifesto to the Catalan independence referendum.
The manifesto points out that the best way to solve legitimate internal disputes is to employ the tools of
Spanish Government and its 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. The manifesto declares that the fact to prevent the Catalans from voting seems to contradict the principles that inspire democratic societies.
The manifesto has been signed by several personalities of international relevance, which include the following five Nobel Prize winners: Rigoberta Menchú, Desmond Tutu, Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Dario Fo and Jody Williams.[1][2]
