#Spain's El Mundo newpaper reports the central gov't in considering "a caretaker gov't" (suspending regional autonomy) for #Catalonia. Other reports have suggested that CUP may be outlawed https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-15/spain-mulls-caretaker-government-for-catalonia-el-mundo-reports

Large scale grassroot orga in #catalonia:
15M_barcelona:
'90 Catalan Committees in Defence of the Referendum represented at the first gathering, grassroots organizing further steps'
me:
'everyone can build a comittee? or are there fixed rules who is allowed to?'
15M_barcelona
'Committees were built by locals to protect the station polls during the Catalan referendum. Completely transversal. No affiliation needed'
me:
theme is ancord about defending the referendum?
at this size and growing it could be also, how do we want to organize ourselfs in catalonia
15M_barcelona:
The meeting was about:
• Organize a coordinated strategy for the coming weeks.
• Keep working on the constituent process in Catalonia.
me:
referendum will in the end lead the power to the rulling class. But grassroot movments have the power to organize breaking power hieracies

''The best way to defend ourselves against oppression (#catalonia) is not to try to put another government in place over us; it is to build the capacity to defend ourselves against all who aspire to govern.''
'Everything that appears to temper or divide up the power of centralized government also serves to stabilize and legitimize it.'
and yet, many have traded 'their vision that “another world is possible” for the slogan “Un altre país és possible” (another country is possible)

Im afraid we will see Spanish tanks in Barcelona soon. Although Puigdemont didnt yet declared independence.
*Catalonia: Spain takes step towards direct rule*
"#Spain's prime minister has put #Catalonia on notice that it could impose direct rule on the region.
Mariano #Rajoy said he had asked Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont to confirm whether or not he has declared independence.
The move is a first step towards activating Article 155 to suspend Catalonia's autonomy."

Here I just captured some tweet made by @josepgoded who's following the process infront of the parliament and spoke to people watching there.
This was the basic of Puigdemont declation:
"President "We propose the suspension of the effects of the declaration of independence for a few weeks,to open a period of dialogue"
"In my view, the Catalan people won't accept Puigdemont's decision. "
"President Puigdemont has disappointed tens of thousands of Catalonians today. I've had the opportunity to talk to some of them a while ago. "
"They didn't expect the suspension of the effects of the declaration of #Catalonia's independence. "
"A lot of people gathered around the parliament are crying. They feel betrayed by Puigdemont. #Catalonia "
"According to my talks to people gathered close to #Catalonia's parliament, Puigdemont has betrayed the Catalan people today."

Two protests. One in #barcelona, one in #madrid. Both with the same message.
Stop violence, start talking.
All dressed in white. And no one holding any flag.

The myth about the silent majority being anti-indipendence in #catalonia.
'The media constantly pumps out the lie that there is a silent anti-independence majority in Catalonia, which is merely curiously invisible.'
'At Spanish general elections turnout is.., at 69%. A minimum of 25.1% of the population never vote at all.'
'The trick of claiming all non-voters as No voters is, frankly, pathetic'
'At the Catalan parliamentary elections, pro-Independence parties got 48% and anti-Independence parties got 39%. The other 13% went to parties which are agnostic or divided on the issue'

"It was reported that Google specifically blocked an Android application, from the Google Play Store, that showed people voting locations in Catalonia (during their independence vote).
Why would Google (or any other co.) want to make it hard for people to vote on any issue? Could this happen anywhere? Deeply troubling."

'That is why the biggest crisis facing the EU is Catalonia. Not just because of Spanish fragmentation. But multi-layered consequences.
So - what happens now will shape something much wider than Catalan independence. It will shape Europe.
Lastly, that battle is part of a longer term war for what our society is based on. Democracy and need, or corporate rule and profit.'

The situation in #Catalonia has evolved into something more than a movement for democracy. It has opened a door, that many want to shut.
The violence of the state and the impotence of European institutions has exposed the reality of how power works.
On the other hand, the mobilisation of the people has shown that mass action can win.
This combination of events is happening in front of millions of Europeans, and overlaps onto the post 2008 crisis.
This is the primary reason why mainstream media coverage is not what it should be. People must not be inspired by a revolt from below.
This also means he Catalan establishment have two fronts to consider: Spain, and the new movement.
That movement is at its core a radical, democratic, self organised and anti-system manifestation.

#Catalan General #Strike sees support across #Spain, including Madrid, #Basque Country, Valencia and other places, clearly undermining the narrative of Spanish nationalism.
Because so many in the National Guard were sent to repress in #Catalonia, their forces have been weakened elsewhere, which made it possible for 47 immigrants to escape a #Madrid detention centre.

Some impression of todays #generalstrike in #catalonia which also catched up other places in #spain as a call for solidarity, anti-repression and against police violence.

supporting catalans is to be !antifa!
'Manuel Fraga Iribarne, one of Franco’s ministers during the dictatorship, founded Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s Popular Party. The party is currently enmeshed in a corruption scandal of its own. Spain’s royal family is similarly linked to Franco and has also been brought to trial for its own set of corruption charges.'
'...fascists who engaged in the mass murder of civilians for the purpose of “cleansing” their societies'
'And yet we on the outside continue to make excuses for Spain, often conflating its problems with Catalonia to a squabble about taxes.'
'Franco’s fascist dictatorship was the same environment of suppression and authority in which the current Constitution was written.'
'During the years of Franco’s dictatorship, Catalonia was one of Spain’s strongholds of resistance, and the Catalan people suffered enormously for it.'
