CATALONIA
" The repugnant image of local police in the village of Coripe in the
province of Seville carrying the weapons to shoot a life-size effigy of
the Catalan president in exile, Carles Puigdemont, which went viral this
Sunday, is not an anecdote, nor a joke, nor something minor. It's the
hatred in its purest form of those who, on the back of article 155 of
the Constitution, launched a fight against the independence movement and
who brazenly engaged in repression unprecedented in a democratic
country to crush the wishes of the people of Catalonia for sovereignty."
