In the European Parliament declared the legitimacy of the referendum in Catalonia

60
The referendum on the independence of Catalonia is legal, and therefore the use of force by the Spanish police is unacceptable, reports RIA News statement by the Vice-President of the European Parliament, the Austrian MEP from the Green Party, Ulrike Lunacek.





In principle, the referendum is legal, but, as the example of Scotland has shown, it must be held in agreement with Madrid. However, the central government must finally end the blockade of dialogue,
said Lunacek.

Like all democrats in Europe, I am shocked by the deteriorating situation in Catalonia. I condemn the use of rubber bullets and batons by Spanish security forces and call for de-escalation. Together with the Green faction in the European Parliament, I again urge the European Commission to mediate between the central government of Spain and the Catalan regional government. In the 21st century, the independence referendum should not be allowed to become a state close to civil war,
noted MEP.

Earlier, Israeli parliamentarian Ksenia Svetlova, who witnessed the events in Barcelona, ​​told the agency about the use of rubber bullets by the police.

According to her, "litter, began after the police blocked one of the stations where the vote was supposed to take place."

Without any provocation by the demonstrators, by the voters, they started shooting rubber bullets at them. There were wounded. We were right in the thick of things,
Svetlova told by phone.

Such, I would say, not entirely democratic methods for dispersing demonstrators. Then, what are the demonstrators? These are people who went to the site, the site was closed, they left it and walked down the street,
she continued.

The interlocutor called the police behavior aggressive.

There was absolutely no provocation, and the police are quite aggressive. Shooting rubber bullets without provocation, without warning - how to look at it? In my opinion, this is a rather aggressive act,
she added.

Meanwhile, the Catalan authorities reported more than 300 victims.

The representative of the generality, Jordi Turuls, said at the briefing: “337 people were injured and injured, one is in serious condition. We urge people to go to hospitals and Catalan law enforcement agencies. ”

        What wild barbarians we are: we don’t beat liberals with batons at the elections, we don’t throw grenades into our pants, we don’t tear flags at any “democratic” demonstration, and there are no policemen at the referendum in Crimea, some “polite people” with cats in their arms and no victims , even among the non-voting Crimean Tatars. Yeah, far from Catolonia, I won’t be surprised if the next referendum in Barcelona is “On joining the Crimea”

            I wanted to share my thoughts about the diametrical views on the process of gaining independence, but to add to the above, there is nothing)))
            The European Parliament, of course, behaved strangely, as if it should pursue a policy of preserving the integrity of the countries that make up it, and on the contrary, it is shaking the situation, well, to hell with them, let them better pick their throats.

              You need to score a long time on the EU and their opinion. Pay attention to buggers below human dignity. As long as they propagandize and preach pederasty with them, even s.rat in the same field zapadlo. It is only necessary to enter Russia by written statement that the European is not a pederast.

          Well, about the "non-voting Crimean Tatars" - you are in vain. As you know, it is impossible to buy Crimean Tatar, it can only be outbid. Almost all of their elite were overbought, and the rank and file were divided in half: into the hatskrayniki who did not vote, and the rest who voted in favor. Since their percentage in the Crimea is small, their will has not affected the overall result, but preliminary work with their leaders allowed to prevent a bloody scenario.

          Friend go to the Ekhovsky site! There they will tell you about Putin’s tyranny and repressions in Crimea, where almost every two GBS officers are assigned other “facts from real life” to each local. I was registered there at one time and noticed that if they write something in the spirit: “yourself” and “and you have worse”, then they simply trample and kick you, and if, like me, you start to mate and ask for evidence, then they just stop publish ... My posts ceased to be published after 3 weeks ...

      In Crimea, the Russian population means there are people who, in the understanding of the West European masters of life, have no rights. It's like a terrorist attack in France - a tragedy. A terrorist attack somewhere in Iraq is statistics.

      Is Spain recognized undemocratic? And will they introduce sanctions? How so? And where is the European unity? So after all, half of Europe is segregated. Or do they still know something for this referendum in the European Parliament? Or maybe it's just a well-staged performance to distract the public from something more significant? I am not a supporter of all kinds of world conspiracies there, but in our time, what’s just not happening
