Tension is rising fast in Catalonia due to:
- The Hunger Strike of the Republican leaders still incarcerated for calling a successful Referendum
- The insulting anti Catalan stance of the new Spanish president and continuing racist campaign in Spain whipping up support and spawning a new rabidly fascist sexist party, VOX, and an upsurge in fascist street attacks.
- The calling of a Spanish Council of Ministers in Barcelona on 21-D, with a mass import of special police, on the anniversary of elections which confirmed Republican support

- The continuing High and Constitutional Court verdicts that are blatantly anti Catalan and neo-fascist.
- Frustration that the French Yellow Vests achieve their aims in weeks by violence while Catalans are repressed, mocked and vilified while enforcing pacifism.
