"The Catalan" will take place today the
National Day with two well differentiated but complementary acts because one
without the other one would not understand each other, on one hand the
government, political, and institutional actors, they manifested their
recognition openly to some painful but heroic facts happened in 1714, warring
and mournful facts that finished with the capitulation of Catalonia
surrendering to the faithful Spanish forces to the king Felipe V, with he put
on it a final point to the war of Spanish succession, and to the lost of a
great part of the identity national Catalan that was subjected on the part of
the winners.
On the other
hand today and already for second serial year the civil society "the
town" rushes to the street it stops in this case if to "take
place" almost like a party the fact of wanting be a different nation
again, of being a country Catalonia again, to teach to who wants to see it this
purpose the Catalan town comes out to the street in an almost massive way again
and it demands with reasons again and without anger the renovated petition of
separating Spain. That that has continued maintaining the intention of drowning
the Catalan feeling to force to the town to feel Spain from 1714, thing that
visible this they have not gotten,
The reason of this, is almost incomprehensible, four
hundred years of submission of imposition of a different culture, of a
different language, of being low the government of political unaware to the
town, and of a completely Castilian or Spanish civil education (until about 30
years ago) they have not been able to give in the Catalan feeling, and I say
this because in many opinions of political and characters of the Spanish more
nationalist culture, the situation of current rebelliousness is attributed to
that the Catalan town has been educated against Spain by the education of the
current system of the autonomy, and non gentlemen the Catalan town in any
event, it will have been educated against Spain by the Spanish culture applied
without barracks during 370 years, so they don't toss us those dominated, the
ruler's blame.
Therefore today again, evidently if the expectations
the Catalan are completed we show the idea openly again that we want to fight
for the national independence of our country and for that reason if that will
be able to be denominated by the Spaniards as "the Catalan"
independents. Hundreds of thousands of Catalan we plan to form a human chain of
400 kilometers along the community, from the frontier with Castellón until the
frontier with France.
We will unite our hands in a continuous line, to claim
our union and I don't eat in some comments I have read to celebrate the defeat
of the Catalan forces September 11 1714 before Felipe V after a blockade of 13
months to Barcelona. This anniversary takes place officially in Barcelona and
it is directed and organized by the Catalan government as before I have already
made reference.
The demonstrators in the Catalan road, we look for to
reinforce the fight for the secession after September of the 11 last year take
place marches in favor of the independence. That first wave of fervor
separatist took to the president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Artur Mas, to
commit to celebrate a referendum in 2014.
The curious of this situation is that it has lapsed
one year and the non alone swords have not been sheathed if not that they
continue on high, the Spaniards throwing lunges one after other, and the
Catalan stopping the blows and maintaining to line the aggressiveness of the
Spanish nationalism, and the most curious thing that the surveys point that
every time there is "more Spanish Catalan" that taking left by the
convenience of the independence some go because they don't understand because
Spain doesn't take conscience of the situation and it doesn't act for example
as he makes it Great Britain with Scotland, other because they have really made
bills and they see that it is certain that an autonomous country with 7.6
million inhabitants and a GDP of 30000 Eurus for capita is better and more
comfortable than the current Spain full with unemployment problems and totally lacking
of industry.
Rajoy said on Friday that he hoped one can make
reasonable things with Catalonia and that it was willing to continue with the
conversations that began secretly in August. Hours before, Mas he had said that
it would not summon a referendum unless has green light of the central
Government, and that it could even retard it up to 2016. Mas I fear myself that
all these manifestations are simply words to allow to pass the time and the
events, in fact I believe that the reality today is that to the Catalan it
builds up hopes us the independence, although the world falls us above as they
assure us the Spanish nationalists that not any arrangement or concessions on
the part of the Spanish government.
They are already many in Madrid and Barcelona that
believe that Rajoy and Mas, they don't have another option that to negotiate,
Rajoy needs that Mas it assures the budgetary cuttings and the economic
reformations applied in the autonomy that represents around a "fifth part
of the economic production of Spain", Rajoy and its government they have
taken as weapon, to counteract the peak born independent from the material
slope, to announce that Spain is recovering quicker of that waited of a five year-old
economic crisis, he also wants to give an image of stability abroad, so that
many Catalan you the reconsider, but it doesn't strain the Spanish economic
situation he doesn't recover and its international prestige is for the floors,
for sample the Olympic fiasco.
I don't believe that there is alternative of I
dialogue and Madrid and Catalonia have to recognize that they already have a
common problem that it is necessary to solve looking for a desirable shared
solution for each one, the possible base for an agreement of a new fiscal pact
that allows Catalonia to have more than to say on taxes and to limit the amount
of financial transfers that every year ago to the rest of Spanish communities,
I believe that it has been overcome because neither the Catalan now would
believe it to us and because to the Spaniards in general would not admit
it,
The things are to take them to the most political land
it is necessary to accept the Catalan reality and to accommodate it so that its
more than probable segregation doesn't represent a deterioration impossible to
support for both countries they are happened solutions like the creation of an
union of Iberian nations in that forms of collaboration economic and commercial
etc. etc. are studied that allow to make a softer transition that that of the
uncompromising break of the three stays, and now truth that is the one that I
fear myself would want to opt the nonexistent but overwhelming force Spanish
nationalist if there is not a turn behind on the part of Catalonia.
