Spain’s state prosecutors are facing a demand they deploy police in Catalonia this weekend to shut down a rogue independence vote run by separatists.
Manos Limpias, a public-sector workers’ union which has also pursued graft charges against the royal family, filed the request today, Secretary General Miguel Bernad said by telephone. Prosecutors should act to enforce a Constitutional-Court ban on the vote and order police to confiscate the ballot boxes, the group argues in the suit.
