well the belgian government together with slovenia has been one of the most outspoken critics in europe of the way madrid has handled this. belgian prime minister has urged for dialogue and i think he's absolutely right because if you look at how spain has dealt with this referendum i mean i'm sure many people would agree that it was not legal but then to sort of crack down on it environ way is a whole different thing now also jailing elected politicians i mean that's that's going quite far also the prime minister of france who's very powerful in belgium has strongly condemned this so i think ultimately what's with madrid is doing is is they're making the case for independence much stronger not only in cuts alone here but also that international are there any tricky situation for the e.u. do you know as now need to seek proof that there is political justification coming from madrid for the war and if it if it appears well they are being arrest more and is a very technical procedure should basically doesn't it just merely have to check if indeed this arrest warrant bryce's formally they
