With an intransigent controlling and antagonistic Spanish government behaving like General Franco's old regime!! How naive preaching the democratic way in such a situation. Waken up FFS St Charles Owl, you're starting to irritate esp in such an intractable position where the Catalonian govt wanted to follow the due process objectively and in the proper way. Define democracy when dealing with a shit govt that will not follow a pragmatic process of negotiation and concession as we discovered up here in 2014 with some of the snide comments against poss Scottish self-determination coming from reps of the same Spanish govt that clearly had it's own negative agenda re the future prospects of the Catalans! IMO Spain made a 'massive mistake' against a peacefully orchestrated referendum campaign and it's reckoned that independence will be declared early next week. Bluff and bluster? We shall see!!
