Suspicious packages appear in Barcelona at the headquarters of Òmnium, ANC, CUP and ERC
- Four packages with the Spanish flag and the letters "TNT" appeared this Wednesday morning at the headquarters of Òmnium, ANC, the Cup and ERC, in Barcelona, in Catalonia. The Mossos d'Esquadra have mobilized the TEDAX groups and activated the anti-explosive protocol, although everything points to the fact that these are simulated packages.
Drums filled with a green liquid, with the Spanish flag placed above and the letters TNT written at the entrance of the headquarters, according to the media ElNacional.cat in a statement. The Mossos d'Esquadra have cut off the streets in which these sites are located, and reopened the drums after their withdrawal.
Tot Barcelona has published several photos of drums.
The operation started around 8:00 a.m. today. As the day progresses, there appear to have been five drums that have appeared, in the following locations: At the headquarters of Òmnium, ANC, Interior of the Generalitat, CUP and ERC.

One of the reasons for the investiture of Salvador Illa as president of the Generalitat has been the PSC-ERC pact. It is not a sovereign pact at all, but in some respects new doors could be opened, unless the political strategy of the PSC-PSOE, which is common, is re-imposed... [+]
It is not easy to understand what is happening in Catalonia. Certainly. We can end the 2017 process, but it remains to be seen whether independence will be able to start a new process of liberation.

Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
Walk from a train station, two friends and a hug. This hug will be frozen until the next meeting. I'll come home, he'll stay there. There, too, will be free the painful feeling that injustice wants us to catch. Jesús Rodríguez (Santa Coloma de Gramenet, 1974) is a journalist,... [+]
The Basques and the Catalans live in a state of siege in Spain, and we also have no clear awareness of this, I believe. In Catalonia this has been very evident in the last elections and in the aftermath.

Like many other friends, in recent years Catalonia has followed closely. What happened there since we were brought forward with the 2017 referendum affects us. That is why I have also been looking forward to the election results.
