Ill Timed Catalan Protest

Keeping with Spain, in what has to be the worst time mass demonstration the people of Catalonia held a protest of over a million people in the Catalan capital of Barcelona, They were protesting against a change to the relationship between Catalan and Spain an issue which has long caused some fractions between Barcelona and Madrid as the Catalans look for independence from Spain.

This would have been a massive event and an example of mass mobilisation of protesters, were it not for the fact that within 24 hours even more people were out on the street celebrating Spain’s World Cup Victory. I guess it is not so bad being a part of the country when you are winning.
