<blockquote class="protonmail_quote" type="cite">
<div dir="ltr">Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution establishes a mechanism for the intervention of a region (Comunidad Autonoma) that requires approval by the Senate after the President of the Spanish Government asks the President of the Comunidad Autonoma
for redress (<a href="http://www.congreso.es/consti/constitucion/indice/titulos/articulos.jsp?ini=155&tipo=2">http://www.congreso.es/consti/constitucion/indice/titulos/articulos.jsp?ini=155&tipo=2</a>). Point here being: there is a
Constitutional mechanism to do what the Spanish executive is doing through the action of the judiciary that involves and includes the opinion of the Parliament. In my opinion, this is a case that should include the voice of the Parliament.
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>But in addition, the Spanish President said today: "The Government is doing what it has to do" ( <a href="http://www.lavanguardia.com/politica/20170920/431423116122/cronologia-20s-inflexion-referendum-1-o.html">http://www.lavanguardia.com/politica/20170920/431423116122/cronologia-20s-inflexion-referendum-1-o.html</a> ).</div>
<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>So no Ayden, I think it is correct to talk about Spanish government. </div>

<div>First - this is a terrible terrible action, the right of people to self organise and decide their future should be sacrosanct and these heavy handed tactics should be denounced far and wide. We fight against
this kind of action in far flung corners of the world, in Europe we lose a lot of our creditability when we allow things like this to happen on our own doorstep.
<br />

<div>
<br />
</div>
<div>Secondly - I don’t think ICANN should have a response, at the end of the day this is a content issue and that is something ICANN has no role in. If the whole of .cat had been taken down yes that would be
a different conversation but again, my understanding is that its official LEO and government actions here with the takedowns.
