So a Spanish judge in a Spanish Supreme court makes a 'political judgement' rather than a judicial one!!!!! IMO this is definitely a right-wing, politically driven move to 'get a reaction' and some Catalans have 'taken the bait' and it has turned violent. The whole separatist movement in Catalonia has been driven by a peaceful policy of protests, demonstrations, rallies and voting in the face of some retaliatory aggression and intimidation from Rajoy's Spanish govt and it's 'enforcers'. Rajoy and his cohorts can't 'get their heads around' the fact that a quest for independence is politically predominant in the Catalan political establishment and within the Catalan population!!! What we are observing is an affront to democracy and democratic values - absolutely shocking and there should be widespread condemnation of these shenanigans!
