We're not hearing much about French Catalonia, just the wish of the Catalans south of the border to secede from Spain.
Very unlike the Basque struggle which was/is active both sides of the border.Comment

Problem is the chain reaction
If Catalonia declares independence, Basque country will try to follow soon which crosses the border with France. Corsica will be next and there are many other regions in Europe that have some sort of independence dream.
Scary thing is that Russia is again behind a lot of this, as their aim is to break up the EU and make Europe weak. The Russians were very visible during the Catalonia referendum even joining in protests not even making a secret of their involvement.Comment

Remember Avon ..
Did anyone bat an eyelid when the County of Avon disappeared ? not even the Avon Lady.
End of the day it is clear that the majority of the people of Catalonia want independence, Spain doesn't want that as it is a contributor more than a liability and it doesn't want the Basque region and Galicia to follow suit. Spain has the power behind the police and the military so it's not going to happen.
What I am worried about is the rise of Catalonian terrorism and the less likely rise of a sympathetic military leader in the region (happened in 1981 with tanks on the streets of Valencia).Last edited by sbakoola; 4 October 2017, 11:15.Comment
