All The World Leaders Kicked Against Catalan Referendum..us, Eu, France... by moninuola65: 8:11pm On Sep 29, 2017 |
Regional police in northeastern Catalonia have received orders from superiors to clear out polling stations by 6 a.m. Sunday to prevent the Catalan government's planned referendum on independence from Spain from taking place. An internal memo sent Friday by force chief Major Josep Lluis Trapero that The Associated Press has seen says a police patrol is to visit every one of the 2,315 polling stations and will confiscate ballot boxes and electoral papers and shut down the station. It said officers should not use instruments such as batons and only use force to accompany people out of the polling stations if necessary. It said the measure was in line with a court order for the regional police and other security forces to ensure that the vote, which Spain says is illegal, does not take place. How the 17,000 Catalan regional police respond to this order is regarded as key to the success or failure of the planned vote. French President Emmanuel Macron is standing firmly behind the central government in Spain in its dispute with the Catalonia region over an independence vote. Macron said at the end of a European Union summit Friday: "I respect a simple principle — We don't have lessons to give, one member state to another." Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy missed the event because of the domestic crisis surrounding the Catalan vote planned for Sunday. Macron said: "I have confidence in the determination of Mariano Rajoy to defend the interest of all of Spain." A senior European Union official says people should respect the constitution and rule of law in their countries — comments that come ahead of Sunday's planned referendum on independence in Spain's Catalonia region. European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans says Friday that the way any EU nation's people organize themselves "should done in accordance with the constitution of that member state." He said: "That is the rule of law — you abide by the law and the constitution even if you don't like it." Catalan politicians have pushed to hold the independence vote for the northeastern region against the wishes of the central government in Madrid and against the ruling of Spain's Constitutional Court. European Union officials have ruled out helping to mediate the clash between Spain's government and Catalan officials over Catalonia's upcoming independence referendum. European Parliament President Antonio Tajani said at an EU summit in Estonia on Friday that the dispute is "a Spanish problem in which we can do little. It's a problem of respecting Spanish laws that Spaniards have to resolve." Catalan officials, including the mayor of Barcelona, have asked the EU to mediate the tense standoff ahead of Sunday's planned vote that Spanish authorities say is illegal. Tajani says the EU is maintaining its support of Spain's government because "on a legal level, Madrid is right." He says: "I think it's important to talk on a political level after Monday." The EU has said Catalonia will be ejected from the bloc, if it declares independence. http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/news/world/latest-catalan-police-told-clear-polling-places-article-1.3529896 |

nototribalist: The Madrid Autonomous Community is wealthier per capita than Catalonia, and they're not complaining. Spain is made up of 50 provinces in 17 autonomous regions and they practice something much closer to true Federalism. And 95% of Spanish players are not from Catalonia. Stop talking nonsense. Only few players like Pique, Busquets and Fabregas are from there. Many of the Barca players like Iniesta who people think are from Catalonia are from other regions. 2 Likes 1 Share |

IPOB can see that countries like Spain, France, the EU, UK can never support any secession. Russia, China have territorial issues with their neighbours already, the US doesn't even have any secession clause in its constitution and has the UK as its closest ally so would want to be in the UK's good books. So which super power is in support? Israel is still building on their occupied territories and wanting to expand even more after several UN interventions. |
