There are a couple people from Catalonia that are confirming that this is happening, nothing to solid though

Well it’s not like La Guardia Civil is the biggest force, that and they were expecting a large scale protest considering they were (1/2)

Why did the police believe them? Does Catalona have some kind of beef with France that blocking the border would've been plausible?

Basically saying everyone is accept ingredients lies as facts.
Ingredientes? How did that come from accepting?
...thanks, Google
Fake news pal...
There are a few people confirming that this happened that are from Catalonia, but also nothing solid
There is no confirmation about this as it didnt happen. Ask yourself what would hapen if a military force where blocked illegally.
First things first, the Guardia Civil is not a military force. They are a federal policing unit. Seconds thing second, in the source 1/?
If in doubt, do your research, not just speak from ignorance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Guard_(Spain)
Guardia Civil are a military force, get your facts straight.
“The Guardia Civil (English: "Civil Guard"; [ˈɡwarðja θiˈβil]) is the oldest law enforcement agency in Spain” First line buddy
Other notable points being that it is only organized as a military force. Not is a military force. They’re the equivalent of a Nation Guard
That I provided it is important to note that the op even mention that it’s not a fully credible source, meaning that I made no such (2/?)
Claim that it was credible, the only claim was that there was possible confirmation from an anonymous insider.

Catalan wanted an independence vote. Controversial of course but they just wanted to vote...
Nihelus
They've been part of Spain FAR longer than the US has even been a country. They need to get over it and accept they're Spanish.
If the world allows this to happen it's going to encourage others around the world that have been pushing for independence. It's a bad idea.
KNSKumo
Not just to vote. They usually argue with the Quebec case, but they skipped all the previous steps and laws, so it was declared illegal.
Sticklebrickk
Because it works so well here in the states...

Majority of Catalans wanted to vote (although not to secede). It was more about voice being heard, not actually to leave Spain
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Fuck them. The already live in a democracy and enjoy lots of autonomy. They just don't want to share their money with poorer regions.
They should still be allowed to vote. No one wants to be silenced.
TotallyNotYourTeacher
And the people who want it most are populists who play victim thenmoment anything bad happens. Like a younger sibling who cries all the time
poopfeet
Unfortunately it's against the Spanish Constitution and Catalan was 80% in favor when it was ratified. They made that choice for their kids
Didn't I read somewhere that the rule regarding votes of independence in the constitution itself was illegal under EU law?
Terwin94
The thing about a Constitution is it only applies to you if you remain part of that country.
well if they can successfully leave they will have no access to eu market. Spain has veto power. Also they'd be taking 20% of spain's debt
That is very important information but irrelevant to the point I'm making.
The point is that Catalonia can't afford to be independent
LordHosk
The vote THIS TIME was against the constitution, because every previous time they tried to do it 'correctly' it was shot down by Barcelona.
This didnt come up over the weekend, the region has been fighting within the system for decades.
most of the fighting was against the fascists though
Porkpie43
A side note is that the only around 50% voted
and howmany vote in the US? 40% on a good year? just saying
lDanielHolm
*Catalonia.
fair point
Sheepyhead
I mean holding a vote doesn't mean anyone have to do anything based on the result
agreed, but still illegal
How can it be illegal to ask the people what they think? That's undemocratic
Turns out words on paper don't stop actual, real people going "we thought you weren't going to fuck us over, but you did. The deal is off".
twozerooz
They arent getting fucked over though
Even a casual actually-reading-up on their shared history will let you show yourself that this is not a particularly true statement.

The amount of money Catalonia makes for them greatly out ways what Spain puts into the country.
i will say that Spain's incredible debt means that not much is going anywhere in Spain

I believe it was Jefferson that advocated for a 25 year expiration date on the constitution so that each generation would choose for itself

17 years.
Jefferson also liquidated the first national bank. Jefferson was atrocious on policy
BronzeLeaguePro
Yeah, but the US didn't let the south leave. So you guys must surely be on the side of killing a few hundred thousand people?
We also rebelled against the brits. We're into whatever seems best at the time, I guess.
Yeah, but that was because they wanted you to pay for the wars you dragged them into. No representation without taxation and all that.
