You're telling me this is anything other than Rajoy catering to his Francoist base?
Replying to @huyelobo
That's a complete non-sequitur.
Replying to @huyelobo
Enough that it's worth appealing to them to shore up a PP mired in scandal. Rajoy could have chosen other ways to save himself.
Replying to @huyelobo
Instead he chose to brutalise peaceful democrats: he is calling upon the spirit of Franco. Who else would defend such useless violence?
Replying to @huyelobo
I cannot speak for Americans, but I don't think even Donald Trump would assault a peaceful vote, no.
Replying to @huyelobo
If the constitution considers that level of uncalled-for violence legal then the Catalans are right to want to leave it.
Replying to @huyelobo
I am generally unfavourable to regionalist movements, but Spain's behaviour this weekend has made it obvious the Catalans are justified.
Replying to @huyelobo
I believe Spain should be temporarily suspended from the EU pending an investigation to establish if it's military grade violence or "only"…
Replying to @huyelobo
…excessive use of police brutality (which is wrong but not suspensive). Either way, it is shameful, and yes, it looks like history.
