The "kingdom" of Spain cannot control Catalonia. This is a fact as could be seen today. Dozens of thousands of pro-independence protesters angry about Spain’s Cabinet holding a meeting in Catalonia blocked roads across the region Friday and clashed with anti-riot police in its capital. At least 11 protesters were arrested, and scores were injured during the clashes.
Spain’s nationalist center-left government —the Socialists only control a quarter of the parliament’s lower house — faces fierce opposition by more conservative groups urging a stronger hand on Catalonia or early elections. Security in Catalonia, normally in the hands of the Catalan police, was reinforced with hundreds of Spanish angry officers sent by Spain’s colonial police forces. “It is a provocation,” said peaceful Catalans.
A crowd of mostly young protesters jeered: things to be “resolved in a peaceful way" but Spain alwaya chose violence and armed policemen as the only way to solve political differences.
