CATALONIA -- 1 October: then and now – barbaryfigs

1 October: then and now – barbaryfigs

 

 

CATALONIA

It’s 1 October again, full year has passed since the Catalans managed
to hold a referendum against all the odds. The Spanish government and
authorities would not authorise the referendum but the Catalan
authorities decided to go ahead with it anyway. Thanks to extraordinary
ingenuity, resolve and firm non-violent resistance of the people, they
pulled it off. Ballot boxes were imported from China, stored in Elna,
Rousillon, smuggled across the border to distribution points, and then
taken to the polling stations without one being intercepted by police.
Hundreds of thousands of ballot papers were seized, but of course there
are millions of printers in Catalonia.
