Spain subverting democracy. Who woulda thunk it?
Actually no. It is the Catalan government that is subverting democracy. The debate on the Independence law was a complete mess as Junts pel Sí skipped over many parliamentary rules and forced the approval of this bill without a serious discussion in Parliament. The Spanish government is just following the law, but the Catalan government is doing everything they can to make Madrid explode and do something that they could regret.
Oh, well, that makes more sense.
