Masquefa scarred political violence


The little town of Masquefa (Anoia) has attracted a lot of attention in Catalan media this week. It all started on October 12el día de la Hispanidad -, when García Mora, a town councilor from the local party Força Masquefa, put up a Spanish flag on the local town hall (ajuntament) and then sat waiting in his van to see what would happen.

García Mora stands accused for attempted murder but has been released from custody without bail. One of his victims is still hospitalized.
