CAJEI is the youth movement for Catalonian independence and it is huuge. Their slogan, which I've mentioned before, is "independencia i socialisme," which as you could have guessed means "independence and socialism." That's what they are going for. I took this picture of a graffitied metal door while out and about in the Born district; the image on the left is the catalonian independence movement flag, and the one of the right is of course the symbol for socialism.
... so which is it? There has been tension between the region of Catalonia and the central government of Spain since the 15th century, and it doesn't seem like they are anywhere closer to resolving it.
