Amid more huge demonstrations in Barcelona, and elsewhere,
Puigdemont arrested in Germany while in Scotland a female ex Catalan minister, Clara Ponsati,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-43529496
now a lecturer at Saint Andrew's university, has a Euro arrest warrant issued against her and 'hands herself in' to the Scottish Police - shocking events and all I can say is 'this is not gonna end well'!!!!! So much for peaceful indy policies when dealing with a fascist govt!! Let us now see how the Catalan indy movement and people seriously take on this new challenge, an affront to the democratic right of any people to gain self-determination! Time to arm the nation? I hope not but I see similarities to infamous far gone events in this region that still leave a 'bad taste in the mouth'!
Lastly I wanna add a famous quote made by Edmund Burke that epitomises the situation in Spain/Catalonia and perhaps also in the USA - 'For evil to flourish, it's only necessary for good men to do nothing'! I don't regard Puigdemont and his followers as evil people! I despair watching such inaction! I hope the German judiciary release Puigdemont, dismiss the charges and cite the words 'unfair trial' before dismissing extradition. I hope other Euro judiciaries do likewise and f### the extreme political call being made by a fascist country!
