Sadly, slogans are not very effective, but action is. The only trouble with action is it can lead to trouble and lost lives, and those lost lives can be young people we care for deeply who get caught up in actions led by power seeking uncaring hotheads who make a shield for their own balls from easily manipulated youth. A war-less, border-less Europe living through seventy years of peace probably doesn't need problems in Spain. In fact, they certainly don't. Sure, haven't we enough problems with delusional Britannia trying to waive the rules, living on fading memories, and trying restart the British Empire? It's bad timing and poor politicking by both the Catalan and Spanish to pick a time to split and to muscularly respond, and it seems almost disregarded by its politicians the obvious fact that if Catalunya leaves Spain, it leaves the EU. It seems to be poor judgement by Puigdemont. If you're going to start a fight, always make sure you've got the higher ground. Anyway, Lluis, keep sending the pictures.
