Madrid, Spain – Should polls prove correct and far-right Vox party form part of a future Spanish government after next Sunday’s snap general elections, it is not just pro-independence political parties that risk being banned: even Catalan language magazines in public libraries are in danger of disappearing.

To the 3 spainiards reading this: it's a decoy. They fearmonger about civil rights because it makes the press talk a lot, meanwhile they slowly demolish the social state. It's a common pattern for right-wing/far-right european politicians lately.
If the polls prove true at the elections, I would keep an eye on your healthcare, education and transportation systems.
