Got this off of LSA and it seems to make some sense.
Catalonia is nutting up.
Catalonia is the semi-autonomous region that Barcelona is in.
They are tired of financially supporting the rest of broke ass Spain.
They declared independence from Spain on Friday but the Spanish government said whoa there and invoked Article 155 which allows the national Spanish government to take control over the region and suspend the authority of local leaders.
Local leaders said nah playa Issa coup de tat.
Now prosecutors are filing charges against Catalonian leaders for sedition and rebellion.
It’s going down. Catalonian citizens said the Spanish government has been using violence against them.
They called for a referendum and the Spanish prime minister sent troops to stop voting. Troops violently shot into voting stations with rubber bullets and physically assaulted voters.
They said fukk ya and voted anyway. 2.6 million people voted, over half the region. 90% voted to succeed.
