It has only just begun.
Spain's Prime Minister has claimed that a Catalonian referendum did not happen amid scenes of violent chaos across the country.
Mario
Rajoy told a press conference that police had maintained the rule of
law by preventing the vote in a crackdown which has drawn condemnation
from world leaders.
Hundreds of people
have been injured in the clashes with officers seen stamping and kicking
protesters as they stormed buildings and seized ballot boxes.
Footage
captured in the village of Sarria de Ter in the province of Girona
showed authorities using an axe to smash down the doors of a polling
station where Catalan president Carles Puigdemont was due to cast his
vote.
And in Barcelona, the region's
capital, officers fired rubber bullets at thousands of protesters
demonstrating against their votes being denied.
