Spanish police raid Catalan government to halt banned referendum
MADRID/BARCELONA (Reuters) - Spanish police attacked Catalan government workplaces and captured authorities on Wednesday to end a restricted choice on freedom, an activity the local president said implied Madrid had adequately assumed control over his organization.
Several nonconformists accumulated outside the territorial government workplaces in the focal point of Barcelona's vacationer area, waving the red-and-yellow Catalan banner and droning "Involving powers out" and "Where is Europe?".
"The Spanish state has by all rights mediated in Catalonia's administration and has set up crisis control," Catalan President Carles Puigdemont said in a broadcast address.
"We censure and reject the counter law based and totalitarian activities of the Spanish state," he stated, including Catalans should turn marching through main street to vote in the Oct. 1 choice on a split from Spain that Madrid has pronounced illicit.
State police captured Catalonia's lesser economy serve Josep Maria Jove on Wednesday in their first strike of government workplaces in the area, Catalan government sources said. The strike focused on a few provincial government offices.
Twelve high-positioning neighborhood authorities were captured, La Vanguardia daily paper said. Police affirmed they were completing strikes associated with the restricted choice, yet did not give subtle elements. The Catalan government sources couldn't affirm alternate captures.

Among the dissenters outside the administration office in Barcelona, was Carlos, a 47-year-old cabbie.
"We're here so they know they can't do whatever they need," he stated, as dissenters bore standards perusing "Majority rules system" and "Vote to be free".
The FC Barcelona soccer club said in an announcement: "FC Barcelona, in staying unwavering to its notable sense of duty regarding the guard of the country, to majority rules system, to the right to speak freely, and to self-assurance, denounces any demonstration that may hinder the free exercise of these rights."

It had on Tuesday seized more than 45,000 envelopes stuffed in cardboard boxes that the Catalan government was prepared to send to inform individuals about the submission, while the first of many Catalan chairmen showed up before the state prosecutor after they said they would back the choice.

In any case, the focal government must tread a barely recognizable difference in implementing the law in the locale without appearing to be cumbersome. Surveys demonstrate a minority of Catalans, yet more than 40 percent, bolster autonomy in spite of the fact that a greater part need a choice on the issue.
Head administrator Mariano Rajoy said on Wednesday the operations in Catalonia were the aftereffect of legitimate decisions and were to guarantee the govern of law.
He later approached Catalan pioneers to scratch off the vote.
"Try not to proceed, you don't have any authenticity to do it. Backpedal to the law and popular government (...) This choice is a fabrication," he said in a broadcast discourse. Any activity that overstepped the law would be met with a proportionate reaction, he included.
The Constitutional Court has suspended the vote after the focal government tested its lawfulness. Spain's focal government says the submission conflicts with the 1978 constitution which states Spain is resolute.
Under Article 155 of the constitution, Madrid has the ability to suspend the local government's power to run the show. It still can't seem to practice this alternative as it tries to hinder the vote through the courts.
