Spain? Federal? Must be the victim of that American “education”.
Lol, yes, posted at late American time, mentioning “feds” in EU, for a split second I thought we had a major international incident because some stupid badged individuals powertripped to Spain ‘to bust a crim’nl’.
I’m glad they didn’t, tho it would be at last something to read about.
It’s supposed to be kind of sort of federal(ish) (federalish enough, in theory, to keep Catalonia and Euskadi happy enough that we won’t want to leave). “States” are called autonomías (autonomies) and have their own government, laws, and institutions, though they still have to obey the Spanish government and most of its laws. It isn’t really working.
The article is still wrong when it uses “feds”, though, because the cops doing this are the mossos d’esquadra, the Catalan autonomic police, not the “federal(ish)” policía nacional (the Spanish police proper) or guardia civil (despite the name, the military Spanish police, a relic from Franco’s dictatorship, like most of the country and its institutions).

Congratulations at finding the most unimportant part of this post and wasting your time by typing out a useless post and clicking “enter”

Because it’s not relevant at all that Americans keep insisting on thinking that everyone else is just like them. Never caused any issues.

I don’t think it’s very relevant to the discussion of drug dealers using Graphene.

You clearly have some sort of issue if an American making a small mistake gets you this upset
