Re: Riot police in stand off as illegal Catalonia independence vote begins
This is, in the short term at least, a no-win situation. Madrid have handled it very badly. They know losing Catalonia would cause extreme pain for their economy and the country as a whole, they have shown extreme recalcitrance in their dealings with it. The whole situation is a mess.
On another note seems for some no opportunity to take a pop at the European Union and other institutions should go untaken. They quite literally cannot support this referendum. They'd be accused of 'meddling' by the Express, two of the top four Google entries, either way.
