On October 1, 2017, the illegal referendum is held in Catalonia and the independence movement circumvents the surveillance of the Security Forces by placing ballot boxes in schools.

The Mossos do not act

.

Yes, the

National Police and the Civil Guard

do , but the cost of closing only a few schools materializes in

images of confrontations with voters

that go around the world.

The 'yes' supposedly wins with 90.1% and

Puigdemont

announces the unilateral declaration of independence, but puts it on hold.

On October 27, the Parliament approves 'the Catalan Republic, as an independent and sovereign State'.

Immediately afterwards, a political response takes place with

the activation of article 155 of the Constitution

and the forced call for new elections in Catalonia.

But the main reaction was the judicial one.

The Supreme Court, the National High Court, the High Court of Justice of Catalonia and several ordinary courts opened investigations that have led to convictions and several sentences have yet to be handed down.

The core of the criminal response was developed in the

Supreme Court

, which issued sentences against all the members of the Government who had not fled.

This is a review of what happened and what awaits the main people identified as responsible for promoting the challenge to the State.
