Can you please take these guys from here now  <_<

Belgian govt needed to clarify it's position over the Catalonian question in parliament on request of the opposition.
Official position is, it's an internal Spanish matter and Belgium won't take the side of Spain or the side of Catalonia.
Meanwhile Puigmont thanked his friends form the N-VA (the separatist party in Belgian govt).

That is just so Belgium. They try to stay neutral but people keep invading them anyway.

I noticed someone deleted the map that had been showing in the Catalan Republic wikipedia article that showed in red all the countries that had rejected its independence.

I wonder if that was some wiki editor rule or if it happened by someone supporting the separatists as list of countries denouncing has a lot less impact than a world map covered in red. :hmm:

Seems that the members of the Bureau of the Catalan Parliament that are today in front of the Spanish Supreme Court, also facing sedition and rebellion charges, have recanted from the UDI and formally accepted the application of article 155. This should save them from jail for now, but will require some 'splaining in front of their crowd.

Note that in the Spanish justice system, the accused have a "right to lie" of sorts.

The next logical step is to finish the "good cop, bad cop" routine by having the Supreme Court take over Lamela's cause against the former Govern members. They recant, and bail is set.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will bow to an administrative act of the central government once the wind blows in their face.

I had a good laugh today when I saw that half of the imprisoned members of the Catalan Government fired their lawyer as soon as it transpired that their colleagues from Parliament were collaborating with the prosecution.

I think the lawyer that represented the imprisoned Govern gave them terrible advice. Lamela is a tough judge, but they just sat there, pleaded the fifth*, and let the prosecution placidly build up its case for preventive imprisonment.

*Actually the 24th in Spain, but you get the idea.

I am quite shocked at the diversity of those who voted for independence.
The Catalan I work with (previously based here, now in Barcelona, comes back often for work stuff) says he went out to vote for independence with his 7 months pregnant wife.
You'd think a guy with such a comfortable settled situation as him would tend towards the conservative on such an issue as this.
Would love to see some proper studies on who supported which side.
