Three Spanish terrorists attacks against Catalans last 24 hours

Yesterday a man assaulted photojournalist Jordi Borràs in the centre of Barcelona. He is a Spanish police officer. The Internal Affairs division has launched a probe into the incident to be concluded once there is a court ruling on the case. So for now the officer has not been suspended and he remains on his desk job. If he is found guilty, he will face a disciplinary procedure. Police sources have confirmed the authenticity of the police badge the officer flashed when he was being restrained by passers-by immediately after the attack.

As reported initially by online newspaper Elmon.cat (the news outlet where Jordi Borràs works), the incident took place in Barcelona’s carrer Capellans, at about 8 pm, after Borràs had been working at the presentation of Crida Nacional per la República. Speaking for TV3, the Catalan photojournalist explained that the assailant recognised him and jumped him while he shouted “Long live Spain” and “Long live Franco!” punching him a number of times and breaking his nose. 

Once the assailant has been named, the Catalan police will start their investigation following Borras’ complaint against the Spanish police officer, which was filed on Tuesday morning. Several political leaders have voiced their sympathy for Borràs, including Catalan president Quim Torra, the Speaker of the House, Roger Torrent, former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and Barcelona mayor Ada Colau.

Simultaneously two men cornered a Catalan woman in Tarragona beating her and removing a yellow ribbon of her clothers. Finally in Parets unknown Spaniards shot against a house which had a Catalan flag waving. None has been arrested, as usual Spanish violence impunity is free.
