You forgot: organized with embezzled money, against the law, disobeying courts that explicitly ruled against it.

2 or 3 million citizens were completely free to do what they wanted that Sunday. No one was detained, fined, or even identified, if they did not do something in the tune of burning a police car.

Where is the fascism?

It's the part where they jail people for "sedition" instead of misuse of funds. One of these is absolutely defensible while the other simply isn't.

So fascism is to have ‘sedition’ tipified as a crime? To enforce a law? Something that was badly done during the trial? Or another thing?

Plenty of people were detained and identified during the referendum, and there was a lot of police violence:
