          1. President Torra names new Catalan cabinet but Madrid doesn't like that it contains the exiled and the imprisoned ministers. Rajoy is threatening to continue #155. The obedient Spanish media blames Torra.

          So after imposing direct rule and unwanted elections, which the Indy side won, Madrid blocked presidential candidates since December. Now they decide, illegally, to continue direct rule. There's no respect for the democratic will of the Catalan people. #RepublicaCatalana now.

        The headlines in today's main Spanish newspapers say that Torra, by his action of naming a cabinet in line with the mandate of the voters, has 'lengthened' #155, and is being 'provocative' and 'defiant.' This is classic victim blaming. We voted for the 'wrong' kind of government

      This is not just Rajoy's government opting to continue the repression, this is being done with the connivance of the Socialist party and Ciudadanos, who were all consulted in recent days. The mechanism of the entire state is ranged against Catalonia. elnacional.cat/ca/politica/rajoy-pacta-psoe-cs-mantenir-155_270108_102.html

    Torra has reacted to attacks against his daughter: "If the persecution is against me I accept it. But, please, I ask that my children and my wife are a red line." His daughter suffers from spinia bifida and has motor development problems. Her appearance is being mocked online.
