It’s now been 24 hours since a Spanish judge sent 8 Catalan ministers to prison without bail. Madrid now wants to make sure that Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and four others currently in exile in Brussels also face the same fate. A European Arrest Warrant has been issued. The Catalan conflict, which the EU keeps insisting is an internal Spanish matter, has become international. Now, Belgian courts will have to decide what to do with the Catalan leader and his ministers. Meanwhile, protests continue in the streets, while the Spanish government insists that judges in Spain are impartial.
