Woof..incoming Article 155 from Madrid.. Not gonna be pretty.
Not sure exactly how Catalans thought this was going to go.. no major European country will recognize them (UK has already said they won't), they have no army, they can't get into the EU (as Spain would vote against them). I can appreciate their sentiments in wanting more autonomy, but did they have any idea at all about how that would actually work? Now Madrid is going to invoke Article 155 of their constitution and assume even more direct control over the region.
