CATALONIA
The state puts the squeeze on
“... setting up of the false narrative the Spanish state is trying to put together about the situation in Catalonia. Without convincing evidence, without criminal records for the suspects, without any violent action carried out, however small it may be, without explosive devices in their power, it's very hard to accept, just like that, the police's version of events. It rather looks, as on other occasions, like things are being exaggerated with an obvious political objective: to intimidate the independence movement ahead of the Supreme Court verdicts on the political prisoners which will be released within two weeks.”
