En el huracán catalán - In the Catalan hurricane. "The independence movement has lost the battle of the story"

Sandrine Morel, journalist and correspondent in Spain of the newspaper 'Le Monde'
The Generalitat put a lot of effort into getting a favorable international public opinion. -And they have not succeeded. In the end has lost the battle of the story, because right now the only media battle that is being fought internationally is whether there is a crime of rebellion or not. No one speaks of the right of self-determination of Catalonia or the declaration of unilateral independence, it is simply seen as a crisis entrenched and with no apparent solution.
