Now force them to illegally enter France, that will make it even more fun.
fairybug
That's actually pretty brilliant.

The road on the French side was probably already blocked by striking French dental hygienists or something.

You forget that Europe was forged through constant war and strife. This is the tip of their strategic iceberg.
humaneffigy
But they have no edgy signs to post pictures of online, what's the point?
secretoaster
This is the greatest.

Is this Batman? Why send the entire police force?
Porkupinexe
Well it’s not like La Guardia Civil is the biggest force, that and they were expecting a large scale protest considering they were (1/2)
Porkupinexe
Shutting down the entire French/Catalonian boarder
MilicaFilipovi
fake
NoCreativity3
So the police can't do anything at that point? It seems like they could do something about this. This makes no sense.
SandwhichSaviour
Fake news....
Porkupinexe
There are a couple people from Catalonia that are confirming that this is happening, nothing to solid though
Mariel141
Probably they can, it's only a temporary thing. Farmers gonna need their tractors later if nothing else.
GamingMule
Fucking Genius.
Jowrdan
What if the party was 2pm and police showed up at 1pm, it just makes it look like they planned it out that way. Still genius either way.

That isn't credible. Rumours don't account for anything.

No one claimed that it was fully credible, it’s just a anonymous insider tip

Given the police think beating the shit out of people will stop them they deserve this
ZanarkandAbes
How do uh.. How do just dozens of tractors sneak up on you?
Lolzorski
Very slowly and with a lot of noise.
CirclejerqueDuSoleil
The police probably went further ahead and the tractors blocked the road in a spot closer to the city out of sight of the police
MealeaYing
It's a matter of proper donut placement, if there is a donut in sight all other considerations dwindle into oblivion. Even tractors.
Dagordae
Easy, you don't set them up within line of sight of the cops. You set up several miles away.

news might not report on it, but there should be metric fucktons of social media posts about it because that's not censored.

Yeah fair, this is just an example of a conversation from within the country

The police just got He*king bamboozled.
iamthatonefriend
Did any of them say
PlbMak
Sensible chuckle
Andalite
Why did the police believe them? Does Catalona have some kind of beef with France that blocking the border would've been plausible?
Porkupinexe
The point would’ve been shutting down an important infrastructure point which could’ve really messed up Spanish import/export
Syrmerlin
They could have done it just to annoy Spain. Which is what they did in the end anyway.

I'd love to read a news article about this. I need something credible to share. This shit is golden.

Funnily enough it’s actually not the police but the Guardia Civil, a federal force

Either way they played themselves and are acting like cunts

Catalan wanted an independence vote. Controversial of course but they just wanted to vote...
Nihelus
They've been part of Spain FAR longer than the US has even been a country. They need to get over it and accept they're Spanish.
Nihelus
If the world allows this to happen it's going to encourage others around the world that have been pushing for independence. It's a bad idea.
biolologist
Except that they didn't.
xzhous
Majority of Catalans wanted to vote (although not to secede). It was more about voice being heard, not actually to leave Spain
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Fuck them. The already live in a democracy and enjoy lots of autonomy. They just don't want to share their money with poorer regions.
TotallyNotYourTeacher
And the people who want it most are populists who play victim thenmoment anything bad happens. Like a younger sibling who cries all the time
AsheLake
They should still be allowed to vote. No one wants to be silenced.
Sticklebrickk
Because it works so well here in the states...
TittySprinklesNarratedByMorganFreeman5
It does, most people seem just want to look at the negative
AsheLake
While I'm salty about the electoral college not doing their job in this election, ours is a better system than it gets credit for.
KNSKumo
Not just to vote. They usually argue with the Quebec case, but they skipped all the previous steps and laws, so it was declared illegal.
poopfeet
Unfortunately it's against the Spanish Constitution and Catalan was 80% in favor when it was ratified. They made that choice for their kids
DrPeroxide
Didn't I read somewhere that the rule regarding votes of independence in the constitution itself was illegal under EU law?
Porkpie43
A side note is that the only around 50% voted
poopfeet
and howmany vote in the US? 40% on a good year? just saying
lDanielHolm
*Catalonia.
poopfeet
fair point
LordHosk
The vote THIS TIME was against the constitution, because every previous time they tried to do it 'correctly' it was shot down by Barcelona.
LordHosk
This didnt come up over the weekend, the region has been fighting within the system for decades.
poopfeet
most of the fighting was against the fascists though
Sheepyhead
I mean holding a vote doesn't mean anyone have to do anything based on the result
poopfeet
agreed, but still illegal
Sheepyhead
How can it be illegal to ask the people what they think? That's undemocratic
Terwin94
The thing about a Constitution is it only applies to you if you remain part of that country.
poopfeet
well if they can successfully leave they will have no access to eu market. Spain has veto power. Also they'd be taking 20% of spain's debt
Terwin94
That is very important information but irrelevant to the point I'm making.
poopfeet
The point is that Catalonia can't afford to be independent
pomax
Turns out words on paper don't stop actual, real people going "we thought you weren't going to fuck us over, but you did. The deal is off".
twozerooz
They arent getting fucked over though
pomax
Even a casual actually-reading-up on their shared history will let you show yourself that this is not a particularly true statement.
FunkyPenguin
The amount of money Catalonia makes for them greatly out ways what Spain puts into the country.
poopfeet
i will say that Spain's incredible debt means that not much is going anywhere in Spain
JayshushMcGush
I believe it was Jefferson that advocated for a 25 year expiration date on the constitution so that each generation would choose for itself
poopfeet
Jefferson also liquidated the first national bank. Jefferson was atrocious on policy
thagrassyknoll
17 years.
BronzeLeaguePro
Yeah, but the US didn't let the south leave. So you guys must surely be on the side of killing a few hundred thousand people?
AsheLake
We also rebelled against the brits. We're into whatever seems best at the time, I guess.
BronzeLeaguePro
Yeah, but that was because they wanted you to pay for the wars you dragged them into. No representation without taxation and all that.

I'll take my public policy degree with a focus on international security from the top ranked university in the world elsewhere, then.

Guess what 22 of eu nations recognized their independence basically overnight...speaking of double standards

problem is spain would veto their EU membership

Fake news pal...
Porkupinexe
There are a few people confirming that this happened that are from Catalonia, but also nothing solid
SandwhichSaviour
There is no confirmation about this as it didnt happen. Ask yourself what would hapen if a military force where blocked illegally.
Porkupinexe
First things first, the Guardia Civil is not a military force. They are a federal policing unit. Seconds thing second, in the source 1/?
SandwhichSaviour
Guardia Civil are a military force, get your facts straight.
Porkupinexe
“The Guardia Civil (English: "Civil Guard"; [ˈɡwarðja θiˈβil]) is the oldest law enforcement agency in Spain” First line buddy
Porkupinexe
Other notable points being that it is only organized as a military force. Not is a military force. They’re the equivalent of a Nation Guard
SandwhichSaviour
If in doubt, do your research, not just speak from ignorance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Guard_(Spain)
Porkupinexe
That I provided it is important to note that the op even mention that it’s not a fully credible source, meaning that I made no such (2/?)
Porkupinexe
Claim that it was credible, the only claim was that there was possible confirmation from an anonymous insider.

It's more saying you're being manipulated by a movement dictated by fascists and thieves, you're being lied to. Not sure what side theyre on

Ingredientes? How did that come from accepting?
