WE DON'T WANT TO BE AN ASSET "DE" SPAIN, IN ANY EVENT WE CAN BE IT "WITH" SPAIN

Barcelona, (Efe). - the Government's vice-president, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, I underline yesterday, in the Catalan president's presence, Artur Mas that is "in our hands to make an effort to defend what unites us and to file what separates" us, to that that Artur Mas he has responded defending the process sovereignty opened up in Catalonia. The vice-president has made this allusion to the debate sovereignty and the separation between the Government and the Generalitat in Barcelona, in the annual dinner with reason of the anniversary XXVIII of the newspaper economic Expansion, in which both have coincided, an act that has also gathered to good part of the Spanish managerial dome. 

"Advancing together can arrive much more far that separate", the vice-president has said in her speech, while the Catalan president that has closed the act, has answered him that that allusion to go Catalonia "together" understands it now "at European" level more than at national level. "If small economies as Denmark, Finland or Sweden are able to be big in efficiency and of having the best states in the well-being of the whole UE, it is because today the word together already has to interpret it all at European" level, it has sentenced Mas. In the same sense, Mas he has affirmed that "Catalonia was in the Hispanic Mark a territory intimately linked to the heart of Europe", and he has added "that umbilical cord that unites us intimately to Europe we take it had put for many centuries" in the veins. 

Sáenz de Santamaría has taken advantage of this act in the Catalan capital to make a conciliatory speech and to underline that Catalonia is "an asset of our country, but mainly inside our country", he has said, and it has stood out that this community has always been part of a "great shared" project and it should continue being it. Here the PP or their vice-president make a mistake again or to not wanting to understand anything of what happens, Catalonia he doesn't already want to be a "asset of Spain" this is the same thing that to say that it is a possession and for further abundance he emphasizes him next adding "inside Spain" Catalonia Mrs. Vice-president he wants to be independent but that doesn't mean enemy from Spain, unless you determine to meet us to it. Catalonia believes that it would accept perfectly to be a "asset" as you she says but not "of and inside Spain”, but is it possible "with" Spain. 

This is the philosophy that both governments should look for and to find to get that Catalonia is a nation friend of Spain but don't unite part inside Spain, economic commercial treaties can be made among these two nations that we say as so many times both we take centuries cohabiting united, but this you finishes the times they change and that that up to now a submission went to the force we don't deceive ourselves it is no longer logical Spain it has used Catalonia well as you had said as an asset that belongs him and that cannot continue this way because the "asset" has gotten tired of being treated as that. 

But understand it and see it Catalonia it doesn't present any acrimony in front of Spain for the god love if almost all have our blended blood but this the same as the force and the threats don't give any right to be imposed one another it is necessary to go to a new relationship it is necessary to look for a similar relationship for example the one that you forms with the Swiss confederation or an Iberian common market, etc. for sure there are many ways that Spain continues being what wants to be and Catalonia cohabits in a special way with her being at the same time independent and sovereign, and if what scares them is that this can break Spain it is not problem of Catalonia, but of Spain they don't doubt it they are already seeing lately it the abdications and renouncements of high political level the birth of new political forces that you displace to other etc. etc.
