15/10/2019 Spain alert

Alert
Spain’s Supreme Court had sentenced 9ne Catalan separatist leaders to between 9 and 13 years in prison for sedition. The sentences were related to their role in Catalonia's failed and illegal bid for independence in 2017, which were fueled by the belief that Spain was bleeding the region dry and driving it in to bankruptcy.

Protests and some riots hit the streets of Barcelona.
