One moth later the Spanish (in)-justice decide to cancel their order. The reason: trails in other countries are decent and independent of the political decitions. So they decide to stop the order before loosing extraditation. Everybody knows that violence has never been part of our actions.

The Spanish (in)justice decide to send to prison the leaders of the Catalan indepedence movement (Assamblea Nacional Catalana and Omnium Cultural). They are formally accused of "street violence". Please check yourselves "September 11 Catalonia" in google and you will see the images. I've been there in most of them. With my little children, parents, wife, friends, etc Not even a paper in the floor.)

The precise words used by the President of Catalonia has been (in Catalan) Arribats en aquest moment històric, i com a president de la Generalitat, assumeixo en presentar-los els resultats del referèndum davant del Parlament i dels nostres conciutadans, el mandat que Catalunya esdevingui un estat independent en forma de república. Això és el que avui pertoca fer. Per responsabilitat i per respecte. I amb la mateixa solemnitat, el Govern i jo mateix proposem que el Parlament suspengui els efectes de la declaració d'independència per tal que en les properes setmanes emprenguem un diàleg sense el qual no és possible arribar a una solució acordada. Creiem fermament que el moment demana no només la desescalada en la tensió sinó sobretot voluntat clara i compromesa per avançar en les demandes del poble de Catalunya a partir dels resultats de l'1 d'octubre. Resultats que hem de tenir en compte, de manera imprescindible, en l'etapa de diàleg que estem disposats a obrir. October 10.
