Spain is deploying its antiterrorist group of policemen (and Special Forces!)steemCreated with Sketch.

In August 17th there was a terrorist attack in Barcelona. Most of the actions were taken by regional police force, the Mossos d'Esquadra, to abort the attack. It is said that national Guardia Civil and Policia Nacional also took their actions, but those were not shown in any television.

Today, almost a month since the one in Barcelona -and Cambrils- also took place a terrorist incident in London.

It is obvious that Europe is a continous terrorist target. That is way, but not the only reason, that terrorist warning level is currently set to 4 on a maximum 5.

After all that has been said, it seems reasonable that Spanish government deploys Antiterrorist Force on the territory. However, that is not the case. They are only deploying them in the Catalan region. And they will not be searching nor looking for suspicious activities. They will be finding ballot boxes.

Yes. Terrorist Warning Level of 4. Not deployed during August events. Not deployed today. Will be deployed during the next weeks until October 1st, when the Referendum for the Independence of Catalonia will take place.

You know. Ballots are so dangerous! All of that because politicians in Madrid don't want to discuss a politic solution to the problem in Catalonia.

During all the day there were also many policemen raiding newsletter offices trying to disallow them to show the ad of the Referendum on their web pages. Also asked journalists to not report any news on said poll.

The lawyer enforcement officers are ordered to arrest those majors that allow for the unofficial voting to take place. They are arrested for using public infrastructure such as schools for this voting. Spain seems to have some rather totalitarian tendencies.

Yes. Quite totalitarian.

And no. The voting is not unofficial. The Parliament of Catalonia approved the law which allows it to be held.

Spanish government is saying it is illegal because it is against of its purpose. Spanish government is only allowing those votings which they know of the result previously.

Any voting in any country can be declared illegal. At least if the voting doesn't implies violence against any other person. And it is not the case.

The globalists are mad that Briton is leaving the EU and Spain might break up with Catalonia separating. This is bad for central control. The terrorism will continue until morale improves.

Terrorists are not attacking because morale is down. They are doing because they are losing their war on their countries -and it should and will be- and their leaders asked their people to do such attacks. Europe is much nearer to their origin countries than, let's say, USA.

They also attacked Germany, where morale is not undermined by national issues like United Kingdom and Spain. And in Sweden.

Thank you for the early upvote!

Yes I agree these events aren't happening because morale is down.

I don't know if you've heard the saying "the beatings will continue until morale improves". I was trying to inject humor.

I hate to tell you but it's not the leaders of middle eastern countries asking these people to do these things. These are false flag attacks, with political motives behind them.

I disagree. I know some attacks are in fact done by the same governments of the attacked country. But not all of them can be. It's very clear that the attacks in Barcelona are strategically good for Madrid's policies against secession movement, but I think that is not the case this time.
