Re: Catalonia Independence

The SNP are careful to say they respect it rather than recognise it.

Never thought I'd say this, but the Spanish Govenment could learn some tact from Nicola Sturgeon!

Re: Catalonia Independence

Both of them could learn from us. The SNP sought a legal referendum and we gave it to them. No stunts, no illegal referendums and no violence.

‘You’re facing the END of Europe' Catalan leader Puigdemont in chilling warning to EU

CATALAN leader Carles Puigdemont today warned EU leaders they are facing the “end of the idea of Europe” if they fail to take action over Spain’s “violent and oppressive” response to its independence referendum.

Re: Catalonia Independence

I see the Spanish authorities want to make an example of those who opposed their rule:

Quote:

Thousands of Catalans have protested against the detention of eight regional ministers sacked over Catalonia's push for independence from Spain.
The officials - who appeared in Spain's high court - are accused of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds.
Prosecutors are also seeking a European Arrest Warrant for ousted Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, who did not show up in court and is now in Belgium.
The request also covers four other ex-ministers who ignored the summons.

Just the sort of thing Putin would do.

Yes it has a familiar ring to it. Has anyone in Brussels commented yet or is it still not their affair?

i was just thinking what if Spain asks brussels to arrest the catalexiteers that would be the EU sticking their oar in , and the Spanish police would surely be out of their legal jurisdiction if they tried to make the arrests .

Re: Catalonia Independence

It gets better, watching Sky news earlier it was commented that as Belgium does not have a law against rebellion then Spain would have difficulty getting a European arrest warrant.
