Yeah, I don't think a tax implemented 15 years later after peace had been achieved supports Oex's point.

You are responding to viper, the master of the non sequitur.  Note that he doesn't make any claims, just posts, Timmay-like, an irrelevant quote (from Wikipedia, no less).  Just move on and ignore the troll.

12 members (undersecretary level and below) of the Catalan government have been arrested today for organizing the referendum, under orders of the court. The atmosphere is heating up, badly.

Let me guess, separatists are calling them political prisoners?

I know the Spanish economy hasn't been particularly healthy in recent memory, but going full retard over this by the pro-independents seems unwarranted.

Well, aren't they?

Someone imprisoned for their political activity? Yeah, this fits the definition.

This goes waaaaaaay beyond the crisis (though it has been useful to fuel the flames).

Technically they will be imprisoned for illicitly funneling public funds to further their own political goals. I'm guessing that's also illegal in the US.

For the record, I now oppose the separatists.

Anyway, the good news is Iglesias seems intent on destroying Podemos from within. Too bad the Socialists are complete morons. It really seems to me that PP will be handed a sizable majority next elections on a silver platter.

I thought maybe he was talking about Francisco Franco but it was not like Spain was a democracy when he was in charge so that would be silly.



In other news, according to a Catalonian nationalist, Generalissimo Franco is still (not) dead.  :P

Dude needs to work on his Spanish.  That's not even close.

I'm going full Tim today. The atmosphere is really heated and I can't see this ending without - at least - street violence.
