Do you tell any difference between the Mossos d'Esquadra and Franco's police force? I do: Franco's police served Franco's interest and Mossos d'Esquadra are at Catalan government's service. (How smart I am!!¬¬).

In any case, the results of all this mess with the regional police is bigger public expenditure, greater power kept at Catalan government's hands, less co-ordination between Spanish security forces, and, in general, small improvement for the society's sake.
