"90% of the 2.26 million Catalans who voted on Sunday voted in favour of independence, according to preliminary results released by the region’s government.


  • According to the Catalan department of health, 761 people were injured in the unrest. Two were seriously injured and remain in hospitals in Barcelona. At least 10 police officers are said to have been injured.
  • Videos from earlier in the day show police hitting people in the crowd with batons while voters hold up their hands, police dragging voters from polling stations by their hair and Spanish police attacking Catalan firefighters."

Catalonia is highest earning region (I think) . Getting out of hand there today with government goons beating on voters.

Looks like those hardworking, taxpaying, law-abiding, citizens (Republicans in the U.S.) had enough of paying for lazy, free loading, trouble making, socialist loving, parasites (Democrats)

Barcelona has a mayor leaning to the far left actually. It feels in the city, with a lot of artsy folks around - read dressed in rags and smoking joints in the street, Besides Catalonia is actually not faring better than Madrid, the Basque country and Navarre economically (below are numbers from 2012 and 2013, I suspect the picture is similar now)

"Foreign governments and international institutions would deem the declaration invalid, turning Catalonia into a pariah state within Europe."


Not surprised these SOB's in the EU would do this.
