Judiciary prosecution of Catalan dissidents by Spanish judiciary as case of lawfare

A few days ago, an article appeared in the Catalan newspaper Vilaweb [[1]] which described the actions of the Spanish government and judiciary against the Catalan separatist movement as a form of lawfare. Someone has tried to add an entry to this page to reflect the content of that article. I am not that person. But I was surprised that the entry disappeared the next day. I think that it is important that the Wikipedia article reflects this recent case, as it fits perfectly well in the concept of lawfare. It seems that the disappearance of that entry is not the only case, and other people have tried to make similar entries which have been subsequently deleted.

It seems that the main warring editor is Arcillaroja, a Spaniard with a history of warring edits in defense of Spanish nationalism. He has been deleting those different entries on repeated occasions. The only reasons he gives are absence of valid sources, in spite of the fact that the entry does have a perfectly legitimate source. His reasons seem to be ideological, not rational. Please, Arcillaroja, stop reverting the edits and provide your arguments for not including this case as one example of lawfare. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legnogud (talk • contribs) 16:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I modified the original entry in dispute. I deleted "recent" because it doesn't make sense being an encyclopedia entry. I also added an attribution to the author of the sourced article, in order to qualify the statement, following the pattern in the previous examples. I think this improves the entry and might be sufficient to satisfy critics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.4.237.214 (talk) 17:11, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
