RE: Spain is deploying its antiterrorist group of policemen (and Special Forces!)
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.
