"However, despite his assertion that the Spanish government was deliberately targeting officials, Wednesday’s arrests were ordered by a judge in Barcelona and not by anyone in Madrid."

I wonder why they had so many ballot papers printed, when the population of Catalonia is only around 7.5 million ?

It's a maths thing Judy - well Spanish maths really. 7.5m voters, 10m ballot papers equals result guaranteed.
 
Brexit has caused concerns & worry amongst the EU , but this Catalan caper could well destabilise Europe

EU governments fear the break up of the EU via the separatist

Slovakia , Romania, Greece , Flemish in Belgium
Bretons & Basques in France

Bavarians in Germany

Are all sleeping dogs that the EU want to let lie

Separatists have been around for decades and so has the EU. No doubt both will still be around for several more decades to come. Jeezus you are dull Transam.
 
catalan independence has been going on longer than scottish independence. The difference is, they have money.

Exactly

Blimey I bet the EU were bricking it worrying about the Scots getting independence & joining the EU , hand out cap in hand , hoovering up resources.

Would give us the upper hand in the Brexit talks if we threatened to kick Scotland out of the union , blimey the EU would give us any thing we wanted
in order not to have Scotland dumped on em :LOL::LOL:

Scotland and NI are already in the EU.

And would like to stay in.

Didn't you see the referendum results? Or are you hoping to overrule the democratic will of the people?
