Today, there is a global strike in Catalonia again,  demanding the release of politicians in the country.

To remind, former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and four former ministers were freed with conditions by an investigating judge in Belgium sveral days ago.

Puigdemont and ministers voluntarily surrendered to the Belgian police when Madrid disbanded the Catalonian government, putting direct government in the  autonomous region, and made a decision to arrest them, which was mandatory in all European Union member states. Eight other officials of the Catalonian government have been detained, interrogation, one of which was released on bail.

The Spanish Supreme Court blames Puigdemont and its administration officials for riots and wasting budgetary means. On November 17, the Belgian court will consider the issue of Puigdemont’s extradition.

The people consider them political prisoners.

The strikers blocked the roads, the highway leading to France, some routes of high-speed trains.
