The public consultation banned by supreme judges has been especially opposed by police officers from other parts of the country. In the event of collisions between voters and agents, hundreds of injured persons have been injured by local authorities. The police intervened reluctantly and proportionally, stressed Spanish Deputy Prime Minister Soroya Sáenz de Santamaría.

In many places the police were absent and long queues of people were waiting to say yes or no to independence. "With us everything is lubricated. The polling stations are open and citizens want to vote, "said the mayor of Arenys de Munt, a municipality northeast of Barcelona. "That's democracy."
