spain unhinged
The response to this outrageous abuse of judicial power and the general inertia that has gripped Catalan politicians could be massive. It could be that all-illusive 1 October moment that was wasted by Catalan leaders a year ago. It will not be violent.
The people are ready and waiting, for civil disobedience and direct action, for beautiful trouble, and have been for over a year now
It is the revolution paid for out of the people’s own pockets and with the people’s own time, all of it made possible by volunteers. I will never tire of telling the story of 1 October, 2017. It’s a story that has changed lives.
Ignoring the violent element in Spanish unionism is blind or propagandistic, but Spanish unity takes precedence over all else, including the truth
It doesn’t matter if anyone gets hurt. In fact, it’s desirable. The idea is to create fear, inhibit, intimidate and silence those whose beliefs have been criminalised.

In Germany, the offence of Rechtsbeugung (‘perversion of the course of justice’ is the nearest English translation) is the crime committed by judges when they wilfully misapply the law. It has also been used to prosecute strict, but immoral, applications of the law.
The Spanish government and media want us to believe that fake news bankrolled from abroad, especially Russia, interfered in the Catalan election and at the same time would like us to ignore the massively expensive homegrown production of alternative facts, fake news, post truth, hysterical exaggeration and racist demonisation. You know: lies. Trump-style, they assert that any critical voice or opinion diverging from the Spanish government line are ‘fake news’.
Ara you an independentist? You’ll die soon.
All “indepe” children should be killed.
Dead separatist, happy Spaniard
Oriol Junqueras, death sentence.
Death to separatism
This and more is what we have to hear and see. This is the hatred we live with. This is why we have to leave. https://t.co/g8vd9KblDE
There is no chance that any Catalan or Spanish political party will be able to put the self-determination genie back in the bottle

Who cares about what hugely unpopular ex French PM @manuelvalls thinks about Barcelona - why Ciudadanos lackey @stephenburgen of course.
What about Spain’s reputation and the Catalans in jail? Shame on @Guardian for such biased nonsense. https://t.co/tkDqYYtmK1
"Ironically, it was Spain that pioneered universal jurisdiction in pursuit of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet: now it is an Argentine judge who must bring Spain’s own past to light."
Heartbreaking injustice.
