Plot of Prats de Molló
Planned Catalan military action / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The plot of Prats de Molló,[1] better known in Catalan historiography as the events of Prats de Molló, (fets de Prats de Molló)[2] (by the place name in Catalan of the town of French Roussillon Prats-de-Mollo-la-Preste), was an attempted military invasion of Catalonia carried out from France to achieve its independence planned by Francesc Macià and the leadership of the Estat Català party, discovered and aborted in 1926. The plan consisted of the penetration of two columns (one from Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans, the other from Coll d'Ares), which were to occupy Olot and proclaim the Catalan Republic.
