CATALONIA
Spanish foreign minister Alfonso Dastis
Hundreds of people were
injured in Catalonia in October, when Spanish police raided polling
stations in attempt to prevent Catalonia’s independence referendum
taking place. Videos showed police kicking people attempting to vote and
striking them with batons.
Dastis’s response: “I am not saying that all are fake pictures, but
some of them are and there have been a lot of alternative facts and fake
news.”
