Make an effort to read the messages carefully, please. The parent comment said `what level of brutality the EU is willing to accept before intervening`, and by brutality I understand from the Spanish govt. side, and my answer was that they won't try to condemn this kind of brutality unless it goes physical. I never said anything about the EU not supporting Spanish's position; it makes plenty of sense, since it's in their interest to avoid Catalonia's independence.
