who voted in that referendum and who held a referendum for independence knew that the that the federal police were going to try to stop it what do they excess how how has the police violence that they witnessed yesterday affected the debate about independence in catalonia. well it was clear that the police the national police of spain is going to do everything to make sure that the law is upheld to enforce the fact that the law that was reached by the participants in this vote that this bill was appalled that the constitution works that democracy works according to the spanish constitution and a lot of people are upset in fact just this morning i've seen a few people here walking down already on one of the main boulevard shouting a strike they are upset because they say completely irrelevant of the fact who is supporting independence in catalonia what most people in catalonia disagree with but also many parts of spain and many parts of europe as well the a for a different voices is that it wasn't supposed to be a while and it wasn't supposed to be that we see images of policemen pulling women
