I beg you. Stop scrolling and listen to me for a minute. Please.
I’m from Catalonia. It’s a region/state in Spain, from Europe. We’ve been wanting to independize from Spain for about 6 years now, and we were just about to have an independance referdum on October 1st.
Except Spain literally dismantled our government organism, the Generalitat. ILLEGALY. They screwed over all rules and protocols.
They suspended the Generalitat’s functioning, entered people’s houses and arrested them (14 people as of me writing this), confiscated their personal and social items, and so on, And they’re sending 8,000 militar soldiers to Catalonia. We’re on ‘exception’ status. Everybody is freaking out, Barcelona is collapsed with a rush of people manifestating right now (it’s literally impossible to try to enter) and nobody knows what to do or what is going to happen.
I repeat.
WE DO NOT HAVE A GOVERNMENT. THEY TOOK FROM US THE PUBLIC GOV ORGANISM THAT WE DEMOCRATLY VOTED FOR ON 2015.
I’m shaking as I’m writing this. I literally don’t know what will happen on the next hours. I’m actually scared.
I know this isn’t about the USA or South America or Asia or any other country that people on this site particulary care for. But please, boost this.
I want people to know of our situation. I want people to know that the Spain government took away all of our rights from us, catalonian people, when we have been just trying to do a pacific referendum and let the people vote.
PLEASE REBLOG. SEND THIS TO PEOPLE. JUST SPREAD THE WORD. THAT ALONE HELPS.
Have here a bunch of sources, IF YOU WANT I CAN TRANSLATE THEM. JUST ASK ME TO.
