Ok that's better than if only currently-residing people were allowed to vote. The argument stands for Catalans living elsewhere in Spain. But I grant that "you're allowed to vote if you can vote in the General elections as a

Luckily all court orders in Spain (like in most or all western countries) are explicitly reasoned in the order itself, so there isn't a need to ask the judge or guess. The people getting served those orders can publish the legal reason

Your mocking argument is that only magicians can expect people to maintain their views?

Thanks for the links! From them, he was asked whether he was under contract by the Generalitat to do it. If they can't find any evidence of such contract, I expect the charges will be dismissed and his stuff restored. I don't thin

MPs in Spain have asked the same. Doesn't mean those other countries wouldn't have their judges apply the law. Not only it is the judge's job: it's not even legal for a judge to knowingly allow an illegal action.

What do the court orders argue for blocking those three websites?

That Constitution was voted in referendum by the whole country, and the support it got in Catalonia was even greater than in Madrid. > the people most oppressed by Franco Let's at least agree that this is subjective.

It won't be respected by all, not even by all ERC politicians. Don't fall into the trap of thinking Catalonia is somehow free of hypocrites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnMA7KdGxn0

I was basing it on what the parent commenter said. I can't really tell if he's in the wrong or you are because, as you said, I haven't looked it up myself. Even with your version my fairness argument stands. How is it fair th

Why would the TSJC judge be ordering things like taking apps and websites down, if the referendum weren't illegal?

Most if not all western democracies give the Government the power to pardon convicts. It's one of the checks the three branches have against each other. I, along with the vast majority of Spaniards, agree that it's been abused and

I mean, yeah. And a while ago a president pardoned a guy from the other party that had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping. I think there's still a stretch from "there are corrupt politicians and the monarchy and p

Out of curiosity, how do the Catalan constitutions Charles promised to uphold compare to the current autonomy? Also, is it historically accepted that, if Charles had won, he wouldn't have done the same to the other regions with fueros

The fact that it is how this referendum was designed doesn't mean it's fair. E.g. why would a foreigner that's been living in Catalonia for a few weeks, and plans to move away within a month to never return, have more of a sa

Yeah I know that. The point I was trying to make is that the referendum wasn't deemed illegal because "the government of Catalonia isn't allowed to ask people's preferences". It is allowed and it happens all the tim

Oh my god of course it's not, unless by government you mean something broader than the executive branch, in which case you have to include the judiciary too. The three separate powers is the foundation of western democracies.

Pretty much. What kind of law could possibly prevent that? Practically speaking, a privately organized referendum would need access to census data, and wouldn't have binding implications.
