That Jordi is in jail and then one gipsy told him the first day "Viva España". Then Jordi complained that he was harassed and the prison told the gipsy to behave. And you know what happens if you confront a gipsy, right? Now all gipsies in prison hate Jordi and one of them each day takes out his cock and shouts Viva España.

I don't think so, and not a sign of any dialogue is happening right now! Don't you think a dialogue with madrid is needed rather than just force the catalans a new ellection? What do you think the supposed ellection would be like? I may not know everything about your country background, but what i know for sure is that the whole world is talking about how the spanish government lost its legitimacy when it shipped in thousands of armed thugs to beat peaceful catalans in their own streets, for the high crime of marking a piece of paper. By doing this horrible act, madrid has just signaled how brutal they can be if they feel like it. I wouldn't be so sure that the situation couldn't escalate to a regional conflict.

MeakMaker Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/oct/27/catalonia-spain-eu-central-power-autonomy A very interesting article. And yes I do agree the EU has to do something about this growing trend. Protectionism and indipendence are on the rise amongst people who got disillusioned with the current affairs and they have nostalgic dreams of going back to their federal past.

BrendanT1993 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Catalan parliament declares independence from Spain The Catalan regional parliament has voted to declare independence from Spain, just as the Spanish government appears set to impose direct rule. The move was backed 70-10 in a ballot boycotted by opposition MPs. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy earlier told senators direct rule was needed to return "law, democracy and stability" to Catalonia. The crisis began when Catalans backed independence in a disputed vote earlier this month. The Catalan government said that of the 43% of potential voters who took part in the referendum, 90% were in favour of independence. But Spain's Constitutional Court had ruled the vote illegal. In all, the motion declaring independence was approved with 70 in favour, 10 against and two abstentions in the 135-seat chamber. Immediately afterwards, Mr Rajoy called for all Spaniards to remain calm, promising to "restore legality" to Catalonia. Spain's Senate is still to vote on whether for the first time to enact Article 155 of the Spanish constitution, which empowers the government to take "all measures necessary to compel" a region in case of a crisis. It would enable Madrid to fire Catalan leaders, and take control of the region's finances, police and public media. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-41780116 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What a mess. Instead of solving problems, both governments are creating havoc. This is uncharted territory, let's see what happens. I cross my fingers that regular people, normal people, don't pay for this mess. That this doesn't affect much economy in Catalonia or the rest of Spain. Because frankly, these absurd politicians always walk free and whistle from the distance. I hope too that there's no prison for anybody, even though they have broken the law big time. It won't help. I do wonder too why Rajoy wanted the situation to get this far????? Wouldn't it have been better if elections have been called yesterday???? I really think we miss very important information here.

BrendanT1993 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Apparently The Spanish Senate has approved invoking Constitutional Article 155, imposing direct rule on Catalonia. The move came minutes after the region’s parliament declared independence from Spain. https://www.rt.com/news/407965-spanish-senate-rule-catalonia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I don't get this: "In all, the motion declaring independence was approved with 70 in favour, 10 against and two abstentions in the 135-seat chamber" How can they vote something so important with a ridiculous majority????? If those absent as protest had been there it would have been 70-63-2! There are far less important rules in any parliament that require a bigger majority!

Having our own parliament in every region in Spain has been so positive always. But then again, this is the law to apply in our Constitution in cases like this...

karbatal Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The separatist politician sending a message to retired people in Catalonia: "Don't worry, Spain will pay your pension" Spain will pay your army so you are in the NATO and UE too. Spain will pay your security too What kind of independence is this? The one from the posh daughter that still gets the food from the fridge and the clean laundry? And Donald Tusk speaking minutes later saying that Spain is right using 155 and Catalonia is not a country valid for the EU? Oh dear... What an embarrassment.

promise to try Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 I hope, if/when we become independent, the process wont be as embarrassing as this it´s right now.and I´m afraid they are making our, well, any legal process for the independence, way more difficult now.I only hope the army doesn´t go to catalonia...

Of course for EU croatia and bosnia had the right to become independent from Yugoslavia but other parts in Europe haven't?
