My definition of terrorism does not include voting, I can tell you that much.
Peaceful demonstrations were also organized, and there’s no ex ante way with this system to target the violations to perpetrators (or to set up any judicial safety check, although in Spain I’m told that would not make much of a difference).
Spain keeps crossing all of the red lines we have set as europeans, and yet our governments will do nothing because they want to avoid troubling the euro even more. This is a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one.
> in Spain I’m told that would not make much of a difference
If you are told that, is simple. You are being lied (and pretty gullible).
Lied by the same people that keep repeating "Spain is baaad!, baaad!, baaah!, baaah!, baaah!".
Okay, Lets talk about judicial safety procedures. The entire trial was public, transparent, broadcasted in direct on TV, and can be watched in internet if you want to freely make your own opinion (and die of boredom). The sentence was justified in 493 pages that you can also read in this link, because... surprise! we, the PIGS, had the same ancient laws than in the rest of the stupendous Europe. We adopted this laws earlier in fact and Roman law is still studied and relevant for lawyers.
Please read it, watch it, explore the truth by yourself and don't hesitate to tell me if you find that there was something pigilesque and "uneuropean" here and in what part this people did not enjoyed the right of defense and a fair trial.

Oh, then is all fine. Lets continue this Anschluss and burn the city

Maybe I’m being lied, and maybe I’m too gullible, but it’s a hard sell to say that everything is fine and dandy on Spain.
Just this year you had quite a scandal with the supreme court changing a decision about mortgage taxes by quite a margin. Not forget that your current foreign affairs minister got caught red handed trading with inside information, something that warrants jail in all other western countries.
