Barcelona, now. http://www.elnacional.cat/es/en-dire..._1827_126.html Employers and workers united in the massive follow-up of the general strike against police brutality.

The referendum ended on Sunday, but the occupation forces continue here

Funny video The Spanish Intelligence sends the Guardia Civil to register a town of 176 inhabitants on the day of the referendum to requisition the polls. At 9:05 they had all voted, made the count and collected the polls and at midday arrive these troops

I have just seen it, Steed. No surprise. No mention to the hundreds of wounded people. Like King Felipe V in 1714.

Nikita · 10-03-17, 03:03 PM

I'm afraid in the next days the world will discover the real natur of the Spanish Kingdom

This whole mess could well turn uglier yet.

Always the case the media reports only a certain amount and leave out the rest.

You can bet it for sure. And like in 1714 we are alone.

You can compare information of Madrid media and the rest of the world and form your own opinion.

The Catalans have always seen the world in a different way to that of Spain. In the words of the great Spanish poet Antonio Machado: Castile (Spain) despises what she ignores.

What arrogance. In principle, the king insisted on unconditional subjugation where he had the chance of bringing both sides into talks and negotations.

A good leader leads. A bad leader just issues commands and leaves it to that. Good leadership is much more than just calling commands. Spain has lost even more sympathies today.

No government and state can demand that a people must accept to be its property. Any law or constitution claiming that, is nil and void.

Arrogance of power at work here with the Spanish government and king. And quite a good ammount of Gockelstolz (= cocks-pride).

Catalonia will declare independence from Spain in a matter of days, the leader of the autonomous region has told the BBC.
In his first interview since a disputed vote on Sunday, Carles Puigdemont said his government would "act at the end of this week or the beginning of next".
Meanwhile, Spain's King Felipe VI said the vote's organisers had put themselves "outside the law".
He said the situation in Spain was "extremely serious", calling for unity.

There is no doubt Catalonia will go forward and claim independence from Spain

And there will be no doubt the government in Madrid will reject this and refuse Catalonia to be a sovereign state

And of course there will be no doubt that the government in Catalonia will say he-he what do we care(something like that)

What will be the next without doubt is unknown.
