Hello Steemit community, today I will give you a little insight about the Catalan Referendum and the Police Brutality that surrounded it.
As you might know the Catalan regional government organized a referendum to ask its citizens about if they wanted to separate from Spain, this referendum was labelled illegal by the Spanish Constitutional Court and the ruling right wing PP party said it had no value or legal backing.
Having given no credit to the referendum and with the go ahead of the regional government to the referendum the Spanish state shot itself in the foot trying to avoid it and sent the National Police and the Guardia Civil, a paramilitary force to try to stop it.
Here are the images of the Police Brutality that happened during those days.
A shameful day for Europe were the most basic human rights were not respected.
