Spanish Police Deployed to Barcelona in Anticipation of Catalan Declaration of Independence Tuesday Evening

[Ukshep 25,574]

Police are guarding public buildings and closing off a park surrounding the regional Catalan parliament in Barcelona where a declaration of independence on Tuesday evening is likely to be met with a harsh response from Spanish central authorities.

Catalan president Carles Puigdemont hasn’t revealed the precise message he will deliver in a 6 p.m. (1600GMT) plenary session, but separatist politicians have said they expect a declaration based on the results of the disputed Oct. 1 independence referendum.

The separatists have declared valid the pro-independence victory in the vote, which was followed by mass protests of Catalans angered by heavy-handed police tactics.

I feel like I am waiting for it to start... that feels wrong!

This is one party wanting a divorce from an abusive spouse. Let them go. And just what is the Spanish "authority" going to do as a harsh response?  Attack them?  If they were smart, they'd let them go and then try and establish true cooperation with them. But I don't know exactly what all the Spanish government is getting from Catalonia.  I guess no one wants to release their slaves in 2017?

I would have been last year. You are going to become numb to it. Try not to lose your humanity. It's becoming hard not to.
