Hmmm.
Seems like not the look you want to give off if you’re the Spanish government.
Guess they didn’t feel as though they had a choice.
But generally, cops beating citizens at polling stations isn’t a good look.
BBC:
Catalan emergency officials say 761 people have been injured as police used force to try to block voting in Catalonia’s independence referendum.
The Spanish government has pledged to stop a poll that was declared illegal by the country’s constitutional court.
Police officers prevented some people from voting, and seized ballot papers and boxes at polling stations.
In the regional capital Barcelona, police used batons and fired rubber bullets during pro-referendum protests.
The deadline for voting was 20:00 local time (18:00 GMT), but a Catalan government spokesman said that anyone in the queue at that time would be allowed to vote.
Speaking soon after the deadline, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he did not acknowledge the vote, adding that Catalans had been fooled into taking part in an illegal vote.
Personally, I support police brutality, so even though I support the Cats, I’m like “ROFLMAO.”
But most people are fags and are the opposite.
UPDATE 6:20 AM EST:
The police have begun assaulting polling stations in Catalonia to stop the referendum.
At this point, there is approximately 0 chance there will not be mass riots as a result of this.
The Spanish government cannot stop it now.
It’s happening.
Original article follows.
Today is the referendum, and we are live from Catland at DailyStormer.cat.
Crowds are growing in Barcelona and towns across Catalonia at dozens of schools and other facilities designated as polling stations for a disputed referendum on the northeastern region’s secession from Spain.
People began arriving before dawn to join parents, children and activists who have occupied the buildings, defying a judge’s order to vacate before Sunday’s polling is supposed to begin.
The country’s Constitutional Court has suspended the referendum and the Spanish government says it’s illegal. Regional separatist leaders have pledged to hold it anyway and called on 5.3 million eligible voters to show up for casting a ballot.
The chances of the referendum not passing are approximately zero.
I don’t have any idea what happens after that. The Spanish are not going to respect the vote.
Do they go to the EU?
Dunno.
What I do know is that this is good, whatever you think of the two sides.
I wasn’t into it before – because it’s basically just about these people wanting to pay lower taxes – but I’ve since decided that any form of nationalism is good. It doesn’t matter the motivations.
Because if these Catpeople don’t want to be ruled by the Spanish, then why would they want to be ruled by the EU?
Any and all movements that have people aggressively flying a nationalist flag feed into what we are trying to do. It is the right kind of energy, whatever built that energy.
And for the average Catperson, it’s not taxes. They couldn’t have this fervor if it was. Maybe it is soccer teams, but at least on some level, it’s genuinely that they want to have self-determination from another people who speak a different language and have a different history.
And that cannot be negative in our current global political climate of globalism, regardless if it may seem petty at first glance.
