“Four Catalan MEPs have asked the European Commission to tell Spain it cannot use military force to stop Catalonia from splitting away. The letter says: ‘We are writing to you to convey our deep concern over a series of threats of the use of military force against the Catalan population … In these circumstances, the EU should intervene preventatively to guarantee that the resolution of the Catalan conflict be resolved in a peaceful, democratic manner.’ Spanish MEP Alejo Vidal-Quadras had said: ‘They [the government] should be briefing a general of the Civil Guard … the government should think of intervening in the rebellious region if they persist.'”
