UNIFOR Medicina 2018Crunch time as Catalonia holds independence vote
Hundreds of people started gathering at polling stations in Catalonia early on Sunday to vote in an independence referendum banned by Madrid, according to AFP reporters on the ground. Photo: Pierre-Philippe Marcou/AFP
In Barcelona, as well as Girona, the bastion of Catalan president Carles Puigdemont, people said they had turned out1 before dawn to protect polling stations and defend their right to vote, defying attempts by the central government to prevent the ballot from taking place.
Spain's central government is staunchly against the vote, which has been ruIed unconstitutional by the courts, and has used all the legal tools at its disposal to stop it from taking place.
On orders of judges and prosecutors, police have seized ballot papers, detained key organisers and shut down2 websites promoting the vote.
But on the streets early Sunday, voters were determined to be heard.
“In Catalonia, we are at the stage where we think that it's essential to decide if we want to remain part of the Spanish state,” Pau Valls, an 18-year-old student told AFP.
In an interview with AFP on Saturday, Puigdemont insisted that his government had “everything in place” so that the referendum could go ahead in the wealthy region that is home to some 7.5 million people.
Occupied schools
The planned referendum has sown divisions among Catalans and stoked passions further afield in Spain.
Opinion polls show the region is deeply divided over independence, but a large majority of Catalans want to be able to settle the matter in a referendum, though most would prefer it to be legal and binding.
Whatever happens, Sunday's referendum result will not be recognised by Madrid, and almost certainly not by the international community.
But separatist leaders are banking on a high turnout to give Iegitimacy to their vote, though it is as yet uncIear how people will be able to cast their ballots.
Spain's interior ministry said Saturday police had closed most of the 2,315 polling stations across Catalonia. But at least 160 were occupied by teachers, parents, students and activists determined to let people in anyway.
All eyes were on whether police would forcefully evict them.
Some schools designated as polling stations imagined innovative ways to stay open, organising leisure activities all over the weekend, from kids” pyjama parties to volleyball games.
A regional government source said voting may also take place in other places like health centres and even retirement homes.
Farmers and firefighters have also pledged to protect polling stations.
Berta Clos, an 18-year-old student, was helping to occupy Barcelona's Menendez y Pelayo Institute.
She said Catalan police had already told those inside that they would come and notify them that they had to shut the school down.
“But they have also told us that if there are people inside, they won't be able to do it so we just need to make sure that this remains open.”
Unity protests
The Mossos d'Esquadra Catalan police have warned about the risk of “disruption of public order” if efforts are made to prevent people from casting ballots.
Madrid has sent thousands of extra police officers from other forces to Catalonia to stop the referendum from happening.
On Saturday, Puigdemont called on3 those going to vote to maintain a “peaceful attitude”.
That same day, thousands took to the streets across the country - including in Barcelona - in favour of national unity.
As well as being critical of Puigdemont, some protesters also faulted Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's conservative government for Iimiting its response to the crisis to repeating that the referendum is unconstitutional.
“The state needs to explain the benefits of remaining united, instead of repeating all the time that the referendum is illegal,” said Rafael Castillo, a 59-year-old engineer at a Madrid rally, wearing a scarf with the Spanish flag around his neck.
Whatever happens on Sunday, analysts fear that the standoff between Catalan leaders and Madrid has left a damaging mark
And it is unlikely to blow over4 after the vote.
Carles Riera, a regional parliament Iawmaker for the radical CUP party, part of Catalonia's separatist coalition, vowed that mobilisation would continue after the vote - if the “yes” camp won but Madrid opposed the result, as is almost certain.
“We're in a process of popular mobilisation that is going to last a while,” he told reporters.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
The advent of the internet hasn't just cooked up1
new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated existing
ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that
[5] killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced that MJ is actually
still alive. Proof? His own daughter Paris Jackson took a
photo of him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't
see him? He's right there in the back seat, stacked2
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe,
[10] man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by persons
unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David
[15] Icke has a theory. There are also countless YouTubers
keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as
"looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to
[20] explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati. Hence3
when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939,
appeared last year, he was accused of being a timetraveller.
And a vampire. This video lists other old-time
celebrity lookalikes4, as well as suggesting that
[25] Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're stuffed5 with
botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through
[30] this list. We can make it to the end. Dig6 deep. Well, not
too deep. You see, the Earth is hollow7 and accessible
via portals at the north and south poles. Luckily though,
it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living
quarters8 for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and
[35] the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from the
subterranean areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that it can't do
anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can predict
[40] the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th July
2014?", Apple's assistant replied, "The opening of the
gate of Hades", aka9 The End Of The World. That date
has now passed without issue10. Say what you like about
the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at least he didn't
[45] scaremonger11 that the end was near.
We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many
people in Silicone Valley are obsessed with the idea that
[50] we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some are
taking that obsession a stage further: “Two tech
billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage
scientists to work on breaking us out of the
simulation.”Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The One',
[55] yeah?
Hitler Is Still Alive
"Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated since
the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony Josef
Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one,
[60] however, speculate the 125-year-old Hitler has been
responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11
and the 2010 Gulf oil spill, which happened on his
birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil,
aged 94. Or in Argentina, aged 73.
