Spanish police confiscate yellow shirts and scarfes from Barça fans








Several F.C.Barcelona supporters at the King's Cup final in Madrid have had yellow t-shirts with pro-independence slogans confiscated by police, as well as placards, scrafes and estelada (Catalan independence flag with a star) flags. Fans began complaining about this as they were entering Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano stadium on Saturday evening for the final of the Copa del Rey - the King's Cup between Barça and Seville. Barça supporters took to Twitter to complain about the irregularities. One of the t-shirts that Spanish police were confiscating was that worn in the thousands by Catalans on the Catalan National Day, 2013. The police also refused to allow anyone to enter the ground with a placard saying 'Llibertat' (in Catalan, Freedom).

Catalonia's President, Carles Puigdemont, reacted with a clear sentence: "If a simple colour is now an offence against the state, what's next? Spanish political police."

Meanwhile some Spanish fans from Seville could freely be inside the stadium with Franco's flag. The Franco's flag is the same than the official Spanish one but with an eagle. In fact Franco illegaly supressed the legal Spanish flag now known as the Republican one.

    What if the women had nothing on but a bra under the shirt?
