Spanish violence and brutality dennounced at the European Parliament by a Conference

"Civil and fundamental rights in the EU: the Catalan case" conference at the European Parliament took place yesterday. The event began with the "1-O" (by October 1st) documentary being screened. An honest account of both the democratic achievement and of the cruel police violence against peaceful voters. For instance, Roger Español lost an eye the 1st of October 2017. He simply wanted to vote. Spanish police used weapons banned in Catalonia since 2014. Not even a formal apology has been made, by those who argue that "rule of law must always be followed". Roger Español. went to vote. When Spanish police was leaving after taking the ballot boxes away, they decided to fire rubber ballots - banned in Catalonia since 2014. Roger Español lost an eye. He is the face of impunity of the Spanish state

The autonomous Catalan police closed more ballot stations than the Spanish police. Their tally of injured voters was 0. Spanish police injured over 900. There was a clear intention to harm the Catalan people. The Democratic Referendum was falsely accused of undemocratic by Spanish mainstream media & politicians. "People could vote up to 4 times" they said. The data of the December elections prove that this was a clear case of post-truth politics. The Catalan issue is not only an issue about independence. It is truly a matter of human rights in the EU. And the EU has chosen to side with those who use forbidden weapons to injure voters.
