Today Catalonia declared it’s independence from Spain. A great crowd of 200,000 well behaved and polite people went to the streets in celebration.

Within hours the Prime Minister and Parliament in Madrid dissolved the Catalonia’s Parliament, removed the Prime Minister,  and replaced most of the top police officials. Later arrest warrants were issued for the Catalonia Prime Minister and his cabinet. I believe they have fled to Belgium.

Interesting times in Barcelona!
