Originally posted by Paddy View PostIt is appalling behaviour of the Spanish Government and it’s a reminder of Franco bombing Catalan in the Spanish Civil War.
There is much hypocrisy as governments remain silent.
Had the same happened in Cuba, the US would be calling for sanctions.
Had the same happened in Syria, the US and UK would bomb Damascus.
Had the same happened in Ukraine, the US and UK would claim the protesters were Russian agents.
lead the voters to vote for independence.Comment

Aragon and even Portugal for example were separate "states" (Portugal part of the Iberian Union) before Aragon was annexed into (a future) Spain and also Portugal into a separate nation. You think it's ok for the the people of a province (essentially like a UK county) to suddenly stage an election without official permission and become independent ?, same for Portugal them suddenly wanting a vote to become part of Spain (and there are some that want that) with no legal basis at either the national or European level ?? Cataluña doesn't even have it's own central bank or mint like Scotland (which is a country not a province -Wales similar). So yes it is a bit like Lancashire saying lets go it alone tomorrow morning.
Galicia and the Basque Country both have their own culture and language also - should every province in Spain just break off into it's own independent country ? why stop there, lets have city boroughs that are their nations, smaller than Andorra. Lets go one step further, Mr. Ramon Gonzalez Pezón of finca Flamingo Rosa wants his country home to be separate with it's own laws ! (silly I know but I bet there are some nutters that wish such a thing) too much wannabee devolution and not enough understanding of the economic / social / military benefits of being united as one nation; as if independence is going to benefit the average man, woman and child in Cataluña, it's a pitch for a shift of power which will benefit scum politicians. Essentially these Catalonian politicians have demonstrated intent for an illegal coup having whipped up the region's population into a storm of Catalonian national pride and then played the victim when social order was inevitably enforced. They should work within the established political and legal framework - go to the European Parliment / Commission and demand a referendum, they hold true power over Spain and if that doesn't work well tough.Last edited by sbakoola; 4 October 2017, 04:57.Comment
