The Spanish government's representative in Catalonia has apologised to those injured during police efforts to stop Sunday's independence referendum.
But Enric Millo blamed the Catalan government for holding an illegal vote.

The only ones to blame for the violence were those who ordered it and meted it out. There was simply no need to beat unarmed, passive people up for trying to vote. The Spanish clearly have all sorts of means by which to 'persuade' the Catalans of the error of their ways without needing to resort to brutality.

I would remind posters of the guidelines posted in the new Brexit thread.

Guidelines

The constant baiting, belittling of either side of the vote needs to end. The new thread must be a reasonable and a frank debate, it's impossible to agree on this topic but none of this "he/she is thick" or "you're a snowflake". This is not Facebook or twitter.

These also apply to other threads - carrying on the previous Brexit thread insults will result in infractions.

Re: Catalonia Independence

Craig Murray in a blog post said the following:

Quote:

There are however no arguments that the Catalan Parliament was elected in anything but the proper manner. Its suspension by the Spanish Constitutional Court – a body on which 10 out of 12 members are political appointees – is therefore not due to any doubts about the Catalan Parliament’s legitimacy.

No, the Catalan Parliament has been suspended because the Constitutional Court fears it may be about to vote in a way that the Spanish government does not like.

Sums up the legitimacy of it all.

I think it may sum up more of what you want to read into it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consti...Court_of_Spain

Quote:

This court consists of twelve magistrates (justices) who serve for nine-year terms. Four of these are nominated by the Congress of Deputies, four by the Senate, two by the executive branch of the government, and two by the General Council of the Judiciary;[4] all are formally appointed by the King.[1] The Constitution sets a minimum standard of fifteen years of experience in fields related to jurisprudence, including "magistrates and prosecutors, university professors, public officials and lawyers,"[7] and must not contemporaneously hold a position that may detract from their independence, such as a post in a political party or a representative position

This seems a better setup than, for example, the US Supreme Court?

You, and a number of others, seem to be missing the elephant in the room here and that it what they are doing is against the law. They may not like the law but that is their reality.

Trying to spin Nazi thugs into the debate is weak but then this is the Daily Mail's forte. Imagine if Wales had held an illegal vote and was about to declare independence, would you and the Daily Mail be all supporting this, I think not ..

Re: Catalonia Independence

Nazi-saluting thugs attack men and women during independence march in Valencia amid fears that the Spanish region will be next to leave if Catalonia announces breakaway tonight

Far right-wing thugs used sticks and batons to assault their victims in Valencia

This is the shocking moment Nazi-saluting thugs attacked campaigners during an independence march in Valencia amid fears the Spanish region will be next to leave if Catalonia announces a breakaway tonight.
Far right-wing extremists used sticks and batons to assault their victims, who included campaigners on a traditional nationalist march to mark the region's national day.

So you think that Valencia is seriously trying to become independent of Spain or are you just copy & pasting the Daily Mail's muck raking ... Why would Spain’s third largest bank move their legal base to Valencia if it too is likely to be become independent?

Re: Catalonia Independence

Looks like they’re going to declare themselves independent within the next couple of hours. For all the sympathy they now have and for all the incompetence of Madrid’s response this seems a bad idea although I guess if they believe Spain will never offer them a democratic means forward then it’s understandable.
