Well, it's game on. Catalan.gov declares independence.
They don't seem to have many allies except for the Scotch Racialists and you know, they'd go and help, but their backs are a bit hurtit.
Certainly Brussels will look the other way while the jaunty jackboot of Castilian fascism stomps on their faces again.

Just when it seems to be hotting up, the inherant idleness will kick-in and everyone will go home early for a nap.
The police will be too busy leaning against the wall chewing gum and alternately checking their hair in their wing mirror and eyeing up other mens wifes tits to break any heads. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Funny how Downing Street won't acknowledge Catalonia as independent. Will this follow onto Scotchland, should they get a second crack at it? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

My understanding is that the Spanish constitution was written by fascists. It doesn't allow for a region to seccede, referrendum or not and it can't be changed according to its own terms.
Spain is still in the process of slowly emerging from a fascist dictatorship. Many parts of the state apparatus still exist. Noteably the civil guard. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

A minority for freedom, the majority for free stuff. Whether that's from Westminster or Brussels.
Scotchland is a wee, sick nation of spongers and takers. Catalonia is a healthy, wealthy region of high IQ, hard working makers. That's why Madrid can't let it escape. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Well, relative is as relative does. My current employer has a Barcelona office and their lunches don't seem to run to more than two or three hours, most days.
Spain has never really recovered from the 2008 crash, although they've reduced their deficit a bit recently. They need Catalan's taxes and exports to keep the wheels on the wagon, although in about 20 years it'll rumble straight into a bull infested demographic swamp whatever they do. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Spain has called local elections for the 21 December and the campaign will start on the 5th of December.
They have destituted the Catalonia Government and dissolved a few organisms vital to the independence, like the Catalonian foreign office. Apart from that they will react to circumstances.
Question is what the Independence movement will do, will they organize a parallel elections or will run in the Central government ones? Of course we could go back to square one if they win the elections and decided to carry on with the independence process, or if they lose to boycott the new administration. But that means people putting their jobs on the line and will damage the local economy too, very difficult to gauge how much appetite for that there is.
@Stinkwheel
Spanish Constitution was written by democrats that broke away from the remnants of Franco's regime. You are right, one of the postulates of the Constitution is the fact that Spain is indivisible as a country, something the Catalonian parties involved in the writing of the Constitution agree to, and something that can be changed upon consulting in a referendum with the Spanish population.
As per the Civil Guard, they were formed in 1844. ____________________ A por ellos, que son pocos y cobardes. |
