Catalonians urged to pick up cash from banks in protest

Banks of Catalonia, which had not supported the adoption of the independence of the region may lose customers. Money from their accounts on 20 October began to withdraw proponents of autonomy of Catalonia with the aim to Express protest against the authorities of Spain.

The actions based on the official confirmation of independence and the exit of Catalonia from the Kingdom of Spain, and also in the hope of freeing public officials of Sanchez Jordi and Jordi Cuixart who are in custody due to public incitement. We will remind, the government of Spain has warned the Catalans that in the case of the formal vote in the Parliament of Catalonia about the independence of the region from other lands of the Kingdom, measures will be taken to limit the Catalan government.

In turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the situation in Catalonia is a direct result of the double standards policy that is used in Western countries. According to him, the Spanish government knew about the contradictions in the Kingdom until the beginning of the unrest, but decided to leave everything for a “chance”. Putin has noticed that in an attempt to please USA and European countries have previously expressed support for the secession of Kosovo, and this sign was nothing other than encouraging separatism.
