Three months has passed since the self-determination referendum that the Catalan people demanded from their government for 7 years and the Spanish state blocked by all means.
this was my last post about politics in Catalonia 2 months ago:

On December 21 elections were held in our government in Catalonia.
A forced election by the government of Spain headed by Mariano Rajoy.
The climate prior to the elections was tense calm, politicians exiled in Brussels, others imprisoned and many citizens threatened.
To give you an idea the electoral board banned the yellow ties ..
I leave some summary images ...

45000 Catalans went to Brusels on december 7, to ask democracy.
The independence forces have returned to get the majority of votes and the parliament. While a new party (neo-Nazi) has managed to unite all the opponents of independence in Catalonia.
Mariano Rajoy's party in Catalonia has practically disappeared in favor of this new neo-Nazi party.
So now Spain must face two new problems:
1.- The independentistas who, despite their persecution, remain firm in a peaceful way
2.- The new party that threatens Mariano Rajoy himself in Spain.
Visca Catalunya!
