Catalonia Revolution: Hundreds of Thousands block and defy Military police Repression

Yesterday 20th Sept 2017 was a key day in Catalonia as thousands of military police invaded Barcelona city and began searching government offices of the local government, which is having its finances seized, and arresting public officials.

The response was unbelievable, on an ordinary weekday gigantic crowds appeared in Barcelona, Catalonia and around Spain. The police were blockaded and frustrated and withdrew when they finally could.

The day was a victory despite everything in that it showed it will be impossible to stop the Referendum without tens of thousands more imported police who are needed elsewhere. the only other option would be to call in the army.
