Spain’s Guardia Civil corps today launched an operation against the Committees for the Defense of the Republic, a network of pro-independence activists. So far, one person has been arrested, charged with rebellion and terrorism, and sent to the Spanish National Court in Madrid. But this hasn’t been the only police operation against activists in favor of a Catalan state, as we’ll tell you in our show today. We'll also talk about two unique elements of the Catalan identity: cava and the upcoming book and roses Day, Sant Jordi.
