THE ANGLO-SAXON WORLD DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT PASSES IN SPAIN BUT CATALONIA YES

- The stranger recovery from Spain puts to the overdraft a deep social crisis publishes today the "Financial Times". Spain continues in mouth of the international means, although with opposed opinions. If yesterday the Wall Street Journal, spoke of the country like a model of the change in spite of the social crisis, today the "FT" insists in the persistence of the social crisis in spite of that change. Crossing of visions with the Spanish reality as common denominator not I would simply say that it is an ignorance of the Spanish reality. 

 

The British newspaper makes emphasis in its article published today in the high unemployment levels and of poverty that they exist at the moment in Spain. And, it considers that it is an authentic one 'it contrasts' for the advances of those that one speaks at macroeconomic level. The country left the recession more than one year ago and it is expected that this year it registers the biggest rate in growth of the area euro; the unemployment is decreasing and the financial sector has overcome with success the last “stress test”, however, economists and analysts alert that the recent recovery is making little or anything to alleviate the sharp social crisis. 

 

The contradiction that produces this situation is like he said before because it leaves of a total ignorance of the political structures of the Spanish state, and of its economy, the fact that the macroeconomic data seduce the observers is because Spain concentrates its GDP on two cities, Madrid and Barcelona, the first one is the capital of Spain and the second are the capital of Catalonia and indeed, in both towns the recovery is real that is to say the Catalan industry has been modernized and it has passed to depend less and less of the Spanish market and today is 80% of the exports of Spain. 

 

Madrid is the center of everything, of the financial operative headquarters of the banks, the bag, the administration, the government, etc. everything is to make it in Madrid, and it is an I authenticate consumption market they are 6.5 million inhabitants that welcome among them great part of the richest society in Spain, minister, directors general, high positions, congress members, and simply multimillionaire that have house in Madrid, almost from necessity because it is necessary to have all that generates the bureaucracy of the more state the power stations of business, by hand so among a Catalonia that takes place and a Madrid that wastes away it believes a GDP that is the one that is shown to the international markets, and that these they are surprised after the society this as this. 

 

But it is that Spain doesn't have single 14 million inhabitants (Madrid and Catalonia), but rather he has 46.8 millions, but he doesn't have any other region or autonomy that it contributes much more to the global economy that is not unemployment and a lot of social inequality among its population. This problem is chronic, don't be believed that he has brought it the crisis, it is a form of governing Spain during centuries, the central government has never worked seriously in balancing the territory, it has already been well he the form of life of having a capital of the rich Kingdom and with great preponderance on the rest of the country, except with Catalonia that always he has made the "war for his bill" because it has always been the factory of Spain for this way to say it. 

 

This is the macroeconomic reality of Spain and for that reason there are the imbalances that astonish them, for example Andalusia and Extremadura, they are from times immemorial subsidized regions and from times it "subsidizes them you gild" they are the Catalan and the from Madrid ones, he would say that these for natural logic since are the capital and they take him everything and then they distribute the crumbs, but the Catalan are it for the different central governments' imposition one after other, Catalonia pays the taxes to Madrid and this it returns him what wants being jumped the statutory laws and agreed governments between both repeated times. 

 

For this reason it is for what Catalonia will fight without bravery, to become independent of Spain and it is not alone because it doesn't seem us fair that we contribute to balance Spain, it is that we are not balancing it, it is that alone we balance Madrid that grows and it grows in rich, in political, in the financial world and naturally in the consumption. But the rest of Spain continues being subsidized they don't change it neither they changed it because one no longer can because to maintain the rhythm of expense of Madrid disables that no government dedicates investments to the other places of Spain. 

 

Don't be allowed to dazzle for the macro figures the government from Spain he knows much about making them seem real when they are not it. It is the clearest example it is the high-speed train the famous "BIRD", it is authenticate useless waste that is not good for potential to Spain, alone to Madrid. It is a radial layout that he goes from Madrid to several capitals of communities but that for example it doesn't communicate communities among them, if it is not going by Madrid or that they are located in lineal dad of the itinerary Madrid to…. it is this way that alone there is a profitable line the whole year, Madrid Barcelona, the other ones are all deficit or very deficit there are itineraries that alone they are busy of stocking for 14 travelers but to that if they read the world press they will read that the Spanish AVE is the marvel of the century. 

 

This is an example the same thing with the alone airports they work that of Madrid and that of Barcelona, in summer some but for the tourism, the test that I don't exaggerate it is that the government sought to privatize AENA that is the agent of the same ones (naturally located in Madrid) and today, he announces that it desists because the circumstances are not favorable, “that circumstances neither that dead boy”, is that nobody will invest in a camouflaged monopoly whose administration doesn't hold back for any side and the government cannot put inside of private capital, because immediately this capital would disassemble him the intrigue. 

This is everything with this gentlemen of the Financial Times and of the Wall Street Journal, has an explanation of because you don't understand what happens us the Catalan yes that years ago that not alone we understand it, but rather we pay it and very expensive, and for that reason we are fighting to change the situation and I will tell them more I believe that Catalonia would be willing to continue collaborating with Spain, but that if from a position of similar to shame that is to say, state with state, and the world would possibly be surprised how we could change this way and a lot to Spain.
