It was done “outside of legal channels” in the sense that it’s not possible to do it “within legal channels”.
I have no particular view on the outcome of this, but the fact that upwards of half a million protestors turned out in Barcelona suggests that it’s an important issue.
- ddalex 9y ago> outside of legal channels My understanding is that the polls were not universal, but only ran in the Catalonia areas with strong support for independence. And there was no vote security and verification, in fact, people were encouraged to vote multiple times in the same referendum. So the referendum could not be construed as legal.
