I read it.... the comments on the article on the Guardian website were on the lines of 'strange the Guardian invited 4 Communists, all immigrants to the area (from elsewhere in Spain) to comment. 
Interesting though, another perspective!

After watching the police brutality, over 700 injured, it was noticeable that the Spanish PM didn't comment on that at all, just saying the 'referendum' was illegal and therefore did not take place!

I daresay much more will play out over next few days... even the EU might comment though saying bot much!
