Well I didn't know that we were going to link straight up propaganda here in HN. I wonder how much time until we bring Sputnik and RT. For those who didn't know this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_News_Agency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_News_Agency It has very close ties with Carles Puigdemont, which has been his director once.

OP here. For what it's worth, I am Spanish and against Catalonian independence, so the last thing I would want is to unwittingly spread pro-independence propaganda. I am aware of what you said, but it was the only article in English that I could find about this news. I shared this link because I am interested in the debate it might spawn here rather than because of its content.
