Like it or not Catalan will be free!
Democracy denied. People are not allowed to chose their leader or their destiny. EU is unmasked. EU is anti-democracy.
Haha. Go Catalonia!
Come now Spain doesn’t Catalonia have the right to self determination like that of that other state you recognized you know Palestine.
Separatist… not seperatist. Learn how to spell that word.
Free free Catalonia!! From the mountains to the sea! 😊
Wheres the Generalissimo?
Catalunya is not a country. It is a Region in The Kingdom of Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Manhunt like a dangerous terrorist? Shame on Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) bosses. The head of Mossos d'Esquadra should resign for wasting public money persecuting the 130th President of Catalonia, a brave and peaceful European politician.
