"Puigdemont is scheduled to speak on Tuesday at 6pm local time (16:00 GMT) "to report on the current political situation".
He has been warned by a spokesman of Spain's main ruling that he risks arrest if he proceeds with secession.
"History should not be repeated," said Pablo Casado of the People's Party (PP).
"We hope that tomorrow nothing will be declared, because perhaps the one who declares it will end up like the one who declared it 83 years ago."
Casado was referring to Lluis Companys, who proclaimed a short-lived Catalan state in 1934 and was arrested quickly thereafter. Six years later, he was executed by the government of Francisco Franco."
Death threats now, how nice! Good old sunny Spain, land of sand, sea, cold beer, and despots issuing death threats. Holiday destination for all the family.

I wonder if they would say anything if the Scots had an unauthorised referendum and we sent the cops up north to beat up rhe Nationalists... I wonder....????

What would the British government do if Scotland pressed ahead? Our police have proved that they are not beyond beating up people and even murder for defying laws - poll tax, miner's strike etc Does any news happen that you cannot sneak in an anti EU angle however inappropriate?

Is that not the very point TDH is trying to make ? No Country should be immune from being held to rights , the question being "what are their rights " ? If the European Human Rights Act is being contravened then it is up to the guardians of that legislation to intervene . Now I am sure it doesn't actually say that it is a bad thing to bash the inhabitants of a part of Spain ,but that doesn't mean that the rest of Europe , (inc UK as we are still an EU member ) , doesn't have to voice it's concern . Case of " not in my back yard " I guess . Seems that once again the voice hoi polloi is being ignored by the very people you wish to cosy up to .

Is it the role of the EU to make political judgments on member states? In general it doesn't really do that. That's not its role is it? Just more silly EU bashing. If EU legislation is being contravened, that's for the courts surely?
