Spain Police Raid Catalonia Government Offices, Arrest Junior Minister by TheShopKeeper(m): 9:48am On Sep 20, 2017 |
MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish police arrested Catalonia’s junior economy minister Josep Maria Jove on Wednesday as part of a raid on regional government offices ahead of an unauthorised referendum on independence, sources within the Catalan government said. Spanish police entered offices of the Catalan region’s economy, interior, foreign affairs, welfare, telecommunications and tax departments, the sources said. Tensions with Madrid have ramped up in the last few weeks as leaders in the wealthy northeastern region vow to go ahead with an Oct. 1 vote on splitting from Spain which the central government says is illegal and cannot take place. El Pais newspaper said 14 people in total had been arrested. On Tuesday, Spain’s Civil Guard, a national police force, seized over 45,000 envelopes packed in cardboard boxes that the Catalan government was ready to send to notify people around the region about the referendum. The first of hundreds of Catalan mayors were also forced to appear before the state prosecutor on Tuesday after they said they would back the referendum. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-spain-politics-catalonia/spain-police-raid-catalonia-government-offices-arrest-junior-minister-idUKKCN1BV0U2 http://www.france24.com/en/20170920-spanish-police-arrest-top-aide-catalan-vice-president-independence-referendum It seems all the referendum cries by the Catalonians is going to be stopped by the Spanish government... |

The vote to hold an independence referedum by the Catalonia region is not accepted by the Spanish federal authority...similar scenario to IPOB ideology agitating calls for a Biafra referendum... |

I didn't see the use of Spanish military As for Madrid, they are wasting their time as I foresee EU sanctioning Spain and Spain withdrawing from EU and ending up in crisis |

Even the Spanish government is not ready for the secession of Catalonia The difference between the Catalonia and Biafra independence referendum is clear Josep Maria Jove did call spain a Zoo and we haven't heard any report about him mobilizing youth to disrupt the peace of the country |
