Как же так? Граждане хотят прореферендить и отделиться, а полиция их за волосы таскает?

Despite the police brutality against largely peaceful demonstrations, voting began in many locations across northeast Spain at 9 a.m. The Catalan government said 73 percent of polling stations were open. Spain’s representative in the region, Enric Millo, said the vote had been “dismantled.”

Sunday’s crackdown began at about 8:45 a.m. when police in riot gear arrived at a site in downtown Barcelona and ordered activists to leave. Surrounded by an angry crowd chanting, “Out of the way, we will vote,” officers blocked access to the public school building and pushed people away from the doors while Catalan police watched from the sidelines. The police then broke into the building and removed the ballot boxes. Prosecutors will take action against the Catalan police over their refusal to stop the vote, El Pais reported.
One gray-haired lady had blood running down her face as she emerged from the melee, while Catalan television showed images of riot police pushing protesters down stairs and wrestling with ballot organizers and demonstrators. Volunteers and ambulance attendants tended to the injured. The Catalan government said 337 people have been hurt.
