Baloney. Puigdemont is a Nazi-like supremacist who broke the law - and encouraged others to do so - based on his fantasies, his lies, and his wanton disregard of the law. Puigdemont is a dangerously deluded man.

It is not repression. It's law. There were 5 notices from Constitutional Court letting him know his referendum was illegal. And that's only the beginning. A crazy liar who escaped leaving his politician colleagues. An awful leader..

The man who has written this article is accused of very serious crimes, as anyone who understands Spanish can read/judge in this indictment . His only job, after eluding his responsibilities, is denigrating Spain whenever he goes...

But Puigdemont is nice and safe having run off as soon as possible, not taking responsibility for his actions and leaving Junqueras behind

80% of Catalonia's population want to decide their future in a democratic way, they want to exercise their right to self-determination. That social demand requires a Political solution.

👉 Solidarity with Catalonia - for the right to peaceful self-determination!

FAKETRIAL or Fair Trial?

It sure is.

This is not a fair trial, it is pure revenge.

I declare my ass the new president of Spain. Pedro Sánchez needs to be removed and call for new elections in 7 days. Free the people from this awful dictator who tortures his own people in spanish dungeons. S.O.S Spain. Help Trump! 😆

OK...and that should be distinguished from acts of state oppression that are not alarming?

As usual, Catalan leaders taking the initiative in the narrative. I don't see Pablo Casado, Albert Rivera or Santiago Abascal writting a convincing opinion column in English. It would be difficult for them even in Spanish!

In support of the Catalans. They have been persecuted for too long. KRLS

The segregationist leaders won't be judged due to their ideas. Not even on account of their extremist nationalism based on wealth standards. Not even because their linguistic exclusion.

'the Spanish government decided to turn to violence' All governments turn to violence when people say they've had enough. Just look what that imbecile Macron is currently doing as his private army maims and kill those who oppose him.

The attempt of unilateral secession faces the consequences of breaking and forcing the law. Thanks there is justice instead of tyranny 🙏

Spain (one of my favourite countries in the world!) needs to get their act together and stop these farcical trials before lasting damage is done to their reputation worldwide!

They broke the law! End of story!

Spain: ‘Disinformation’ surrounds Catalan separatists’ trialSpanish ambassador to London speaks out in effort to convince world trial is not political how could the trial not be political? 'the Catalan foreign minister' … really Catalonia is one of the richest regions in Spain, but just a region… it is not a state. Catalonia has not a foreign minister. Please, send to Spain somebody that know just a little bit about our country... thanks! Shame on the rest of Europe who talk about human rights for turning their backs on this absolute injustice.

Four women killed every day so far in Brazil this year in 'alarming' death toll'In most cases, the murdered women had previously denounced their aggressors, faced serious acts of domestic violence, or suffered previous attacks or attempted homicides,' says human rights organisation Bolsonaro's son has relationship with primal suspect of Mariella Franco's murderer, member of a paramilitary group Terrible statistic, but hopefully the new president should sort this out. It's actually very low considering a total of 63'880 murders in Brazil in 2017. Four women everyday would add up to 1460 women for a full year. Thus a man in Brazil is 43 times more likely to get murdered than a woman.
