Catalonia From Political Prisoners to Political Hostages a bad sign for the future

Yr Aflonyddwch Mawr says given the importance of Catalan Self Determination for the future of democracy in Europe we are appalled and disgusted by Spanish Government and Catalan opposition tactics to undermine the popular vote for independence by political hostage taking in the form of the current political prisoners and continued intimidation of pro independence leaders with potential 30 year prison sentences.

Spain is making a mockery of democracy in the heart of Europe and the silence of political forces from the Leftists to the Rightists shows how far they have abandoned the United Nations Right to Self Determination as part of the struggle for Democracy and Socialism.
