SPAIN SHOULD CHANGE TO A FEDERAL STATE OR IT WILL PERISH FOR THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF BEING BALANCED

I read this morning an article of Eduardo López Alonso published in "El Periodico" of the one which transcribe the first three paragraphs by way of introduction to this blog. - The formal demand of a law of consultations on the part of the Parlament of Catalonia soul another box of the thunders in a Spain marked by demands sovereignty of all nature. Certain that most of those picturesque reclamations don't have apparent majority back (neither countersigned in the urns or in the parliaments), but anyway they don't stop to get the attention. 

Besides Catalonia and the Basque country, the Spanish geography is plagued of examples of demands of more political and economic autonomy in front of Madrid. The tensions sovereignty, those related to a territorial portion, are also in the most unsuspected places. To the “pedanías” margin, segregations mires and local conflicts, other demands of regional type also get the attention. 

And it is that Catalonia and Basque country are to the front of the historical nations inside Spain, but in Galicia, Canaries and Navarrese there is also independent, the same thing that in Valencia, Balearic, Asturias, Aragon or Andalusia. What differs to all those movements is, to the margin of possible historical justifications, the number of followers or social support that they wake up.    

It is evident that after this reading what is clear is that Spain is fed up with being "A BIG AND FREE" and he wants to be an union of nationalities forms of to think and to be and don't unite only unit well for the force or for ordinance, it is clear also that if a Spanish looks at its history to see that he doesn't tell anything new Spain non nation a big and free but rather it was made by means of becoming of the history and a lot I fear myself that it has not gotten that the different towns and Kingdom that formed it have found its fitting in her but rather at the end they are inside a Spain that is not its house for many, some they take it better than other but in definitive this is this way. 

To understand what I want to propose and what Eduardo has written López is to capture the map of the Iberian peninsula there for the year of grace of 1360 and one begins to understand because it is logical that Spain is not a single form of seeing the things Spain it was left in three clear and defined social areas from two of them he took place the reconquest of the other part that it had been dominated and developed by the Arab during anything less than 7 centuries that if I believe that they were not here to colonize but to enjoy the climate and of other things but it doesn't stop to create an Arab society or Muslim as they want to call it. 

Well the reconquest concludes and they unite the conquering Kingdom by means of marriage of convenience that we are not dreamer it was a failure basically because they didn't leave real descendant that maintains the unit so to speak to the four days we had a cared king that he didn't know neither the ways neither the history of those that will be their bad citizens could unify them they don't find it, in short as it is not a history class we will leave it here as starting point of what I will propose. 

That I that today could make this that we call Spain find it but that it doesn't satisfy us entirely to none for what seems then I have it very clear reconstitute her from the logic of that peninsula Iberian departure in three again and that one can make transforming Spain into a federal state. for make a federal state is to consider mainly that each federation this but or less balanced with regard to the other ones and this balance owes economic, territorial and demographic, he should also keep a logical sense of personality and human feelings of very since past keeping in mind all this I have made a plan of a Federal Spain made up of for three federations that he tries to pick up the economic balance, history and population these federations they would be made up of the following way:  

FEDERACION NORTE

	Habitantes	PIB/mill/€	PIB/cap
Castilla Leon	2.650.000	58.100	23.361
Galicia	2.800.000	56.290	20.619
Asturias	1.085.000	23.735	22.539
Cantabria	500.000	14.027	24.508
Euskadi	2.200.000	68.281	32.133
La Rioja	323.000	8.033	25.895
Navarra	637.000	18.544	30.614
Canarias	2.120.000	43.250	21.105
Total	12.315.000	290.260	23.570

 

FEDERACION CENTRO-SUR

Andalucia	8.415.000	151.211	18.507
Extremadura	1.105.500	18.033	16.820
Castilla la Mancha	2.098.400	36.448	18.471
Madrid	6.460.000	211.175	32.696
Total	18.078.900	416.867	23.058

 

FEDERACION DE LEVANTE

Murcia	1.462.000	27.943	19.962
Valencia	5.150.000	102.064	20.465
Aragon	1.384.000	34.088	26.323
Cataluña	7.515.000	202.805	28.095
Baleares	1.100.000	27.334	25.967
Total	16.611.000	394.234	23.733

 

Graphically the map of the federal Spain would be more or less this way 

 

It is not an utopia it is feasible they observe the atrocities of communities that we have today he/she leaves from that of Madrid with 6.460.000 inhabitants to Cantabria with alone 600.000 and The Rioja with 323.000 inhabitants it is so absurd that he gives until shame thinking that political impositions or that fear had to support the parents of the constitution post Franco. This for logic should change, I don't believe that the Spaniards are so obtuse that we are unable to see this imperious necessity, I assure them that if the future government of Spain, announces this way a structuring, you finishes the deficit and the intervention of the markets, he didn't put an end suddenly to the unemployment, but the GDP will grow very above what makes it now, and we will begin to generate trust wealth and credibility 

The first great step is being able to pass from seventeen Spain to three, and because not to a, my kind reader wondered, no, it would not be good, because a Spain doesn't exist, because the temptation of the centralism, this ingrained one in the genes of many Spaniards, and this politics of central nucleus that irradiates the power toward it was it is unjust and selfish, of this analysis my proposal is born. Let us transform Spain into three federations and a government of National.
