SPAIN AND CATALONIA ARE KNOWN THE HISTORY OF SOME VERY WELL AND OTHERS LEARN OF HER

I govern, Political, political Party, writers, lawyers, managers, artists, and jurists, economists, all have their opinion and they manifest it more or less openly referring to the secessionist wave fed from ERC, CiU, IU, CUP and the PSC fifty-fifty, that is to say the Catalan Government's 80% that Artur Mas presides. All put of relief that such a bet independent can already overflow for the social uneasiness very deteriorated by the economic crisis, and there is who says that the independent loads in that uneasiness, (without reason they say) its matter devises of becoming independent of Spain. 

The Catalan independent, we don't load our desire of independence to the single idea of the economy it expires and impossible of Spain, to this reality it is necessary to add our matter idea of Spain, and to our matter he devises of our national feelings that don't coincide with what Spain seeks that we adopt as own feeling. If all or most of opinions and Spanish counselors consider that the independent intends to force the democratic law made by all and for all that it is the Spanish" constitution if that give them the reason in this, although not in that of forcing, because here it is not to use any violence, at least for our part not even in the use of the written verb. 

In some articles and comments we are attacked, saying that Catalonia was never a Kingdom, we already know it and that is in fact a sign in our peculiar way of to be and to feel our society and nationality, we have always been part of something and generally faithfully. Catalonia was during the Middle Age one of the territories that composed the patrimony of the Kingdom of Aragon, known by the later historiography as the Crown of Aragon.  

After the disintegration of the Empire Carolingian the county of Barcelona that had been part of the Hispanic Mark of the Empire, reached a facto independence at the end of the century X, and it was able to contain around him, by means of family bonds or of vassalage, to an important part of the current Catalonia, mainly the counties of Gerona, Osona, Besalú, Cerdanya and Ampurias and certainly I don't form the usual form of a Kingdom with a king.  

In the XII century, the county of Barcelona and the Kingdom of Aragon they united by means of the engagements agreed among Ramiro II of Aragon and Ramón Berenguer IV of Barcelona en1137, for those that the count from Barcelona would contract marriage with the future Aragonese queen Petronila. Later on the union among the Kingdom of Aragon with that of Castile beginning the one on the way to the whole common history that has never been assumed entirely by none of the two parts. 

I believe that Catalonia has always been there at the same time with an own and common history it has always been good vassal and always a very important part inside the sustained alliances, until the Spanish imperialism arose that you doesn't conform with having a nation that didn't assume the national fact that composed the empire, and he wanted to finish with it in 1714, and although it has not achieved it, they will never be able to say, (as they don't say it is certain) that Catalonia has been uncompromising or traitor to its duties like citizen, neither now as nationalist. 

Now it seems that forced by the modern economic circumstances Catalonia he means course, we want to leave toward our own destination because we don't believe that Spain is making it well, because its drift returns to the imperial centralism of that Castile that I forge Spain, but that I forget like I have said many times that he didn't make it alone, there were other Kingdom and other armies and men that combated helping to liberate to the Iberian peninsula, (not to Spain) of the Arab invasion. At the end you forms Spain but it has not been gotten completely, neither everywhere to incorporate the Spanish national feeling that we are claimed almost to the force like an obligation.  

 

The problem of Spain now is that there is not new world that to discover, so at the present time and in the next future there is not gold to despoil, species and slaves with which to trade, there are not wars to maintain with the purpose of enlarging an empire like it neither happened in the XV and XVI centuries there are kings like Carlos from Austria or Habsburgo, it was king from Spain with name Carlos I, the first one that united in its person the crowns of Castile, Aragon and Navarre, and Emperor of the Sacred Germanic Roman Empire, everything that you finish with the step of the time and of the disasters of the history. 

 

I am for sure Spain and Catalonia know the history of some very well and other and as all history, it is already passed I don't believe that to take out it to it floats now like it seems that from Spain it is tried to make, to seek to demonstrate that this he gives him right to demand obedience and submission to a society that thinks, he speaks and it feels in a different and autonomous way, I find a wrong road, I believe that to Spain him serious of but interest to look for that secular Catalonia that being friendly part of and with other Kingdom now nations, it was always faithful and he always gave unintentionally greatness and power to those who knew how to cohabit with her, to seize neither of its culture neither of its history to annul it.
