A picture taken on September 24, 2017 shows little Spanish flags on pastries that people brought to Barcelona's port with drink and food for Spanish National Police and Guardia Civil officers, who are housed on charter ferries. Spain's interior ministry has chartered three ferries to house police sent to back up forces in Catalonia where Madrid is pulling out the stops to halt an outlawed independence referendum, authorities said. Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy asked Catalan separatist leaders on September 23, 2017 to own up they can't hold an outlawed independence referendum after a crackdown dealt them a serious blow this week. / AFP PHOTO / LLUIS GENE
