Re: <nettime> Catalonia and mainstream opinion

No, it did (see rep in The Guardian), but feebly, largely apportionating the blame on the 
Generalitat. Meanwhile prosecution of the chief of the Mossos d'Esquadra (Cat. Police) and 
other officials is likely to be pursued. and the Spanish State´s police and para-milataries 
(Guardia Civil) are still out in numbers, seen for what they are: an occupation force.

The (feeble) apology may indicate some braking on the downward descend into Article 155, so 
let's keep our fingers crossed.


Cheerio, p+2D!
