   Spanish police are storming Catalan polling stations (local schools), smashing down doors, breaking open locked cupboards (looking for voting material), dragging people out of the buildings, cordoning off the entrances. People resist. #1Oct

      @tuttle No entres en twitter, los vídeos dan miedo. La marca España a la altura del betún. Cataluña no será independiente pero ha ganado.

         @ghostdancer @tuttle I’ve read in news here that Catalan police does not cooperate as ordered by government. Is that correct?

            @morph @tuttle It looks so, at least there are no images of them repressing people.

               @ghostdancer @tuttle Critical situation. I hope not many people get injured or even killed. Another question: For an outsider it is hard to find out what "coleur" is the Catalan separatist movement. Spanish mates here see them just as nationalists (not so surprising). I imagine that there is also a lot of people who think in an anti-monarchy/anti-fascist way. The Franco era is not too long ago, which is widely not mentioned.

                     @ghostdancer The level of repression is remarkable. The referendum result would be ignored anyway, so I wonder what’s the plan of this escalation policy. It looks like an ultimate warning.

            @morph Yes, they're definitely between a rock and a hard place. Seem to be keeping their head low, not saying anything, and hoping they go unnoticed.
