The
general secretary of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, he has pled in Madrid for
a solution “of consensus" of the conflict between Catalonia and the
Spanish Government. And it clarified that, to their understand Catalonia
doesn't figure in the "category" of territories to those that the UN
recognizes the self-determination right. But eye this doesn't mean that he/she
cannot have it that it is what Spain already interprets apparently all united
one after the interviews of the rest of leaders political with Rajoy
it is
necessary to keep in mind that Ban Ki Moon doesn't know everything, what passes
in Spain and it is very logical its work is not to control all the day by day
of a country this leaves clearly when in an interview he says that: An
important and positive characteristic of Spain is its respect for the cultural,
linguistic and historical diversities. It is clear that he doesn't know the law
Wert, and that he doesn't know that a Catalan deputy you cannot express in
their language in the Spanish congress while a Spanish deputy if he can make it
with all freedom in Castilian in the “Catalan Parlament” neither he knows how
many judicial sentences they are edited in Catalan in front of those that are
made in Castilian.
But I
repeat it is logical he doesn't have the blame Ban Ki Moon the blame it is that
Spain hides its reality to the world Spain it has been during many years a
rarity inside the European democracy and now that we belong to her we still
make fifty-fifty it alone they are still thirty years who they take and they
support the government from Spain they are educated with Franco's dictatorship
of this is not the so much Ban Ki Moon, if he can know a synthesis of the
problem Catalonia Spain but it didn't happen of here, the same one says it. As
it can suppose, as general secretary of the United Nations I am not in position
of commenting the question, since it is a purely internal matter. Nevertheless,
I wait that there is a solution consented, based on the dialogue and on-line with
the democratic tradition.
The
United Nations work on some lines teachers, as the territorial integrity, the
sovereignty or the democratic rules. I know that it is very serious matters for
a lot of people in Catalonia. What I request to the leaders and people in the
region is that they commit in the dialogue. The problem Mr. Ban Ki Moon is that
Catalonia if he commits but he/she doesn't find any I dialogue in in front of
his.
Spain
has stayed as a sovereign State in itself, including Catalonia, taking
advantage of some reasons of historical conquest this doesn't impede or it
disables that Catalonia now wants to separate. Catalonia has not always been
Spain no matter how much the Spaniards insist, and it is that they neither were
Spanish they were formed as such after the reconquers’ of the Iberian Peninsula
that was low the Arab domain during more than 7 centuries.
Then
if we look at it from this point of view, Spain could not have made this reconquerst
because after 7 centuries we should be and to feel proud of being Arab, let us
keep in mind that the unit of Spain takes place uniting the Catholic kings that
were two the Queen Castilla Isabel and the King Fernando from Aragon, both
Catholics it happened that is to say less time than Spain ago in the XV century
it is Catholic that it was it Muslim.
He
wrote an article in that he told to Rajoy some days ago that the problem Catalonia
- Spain is no problem nothing else that stops Spain and Catalonia and that to
go spreading it for the world won't solve it, all will tell him the same thing.
Better than there are not problems, but until here they arrived, they won't
make anything to solve it neither to worsen him, alone they will intervene when
the problem has as effect danger for themselves, well for a danger of warlike,
or economic conflict or of abuse of authority or antidemocrat legality, this it
is the reality that we understand from Catalonia and that he makes that we have
many among those that I am the belief that the independence are not never
gotten with votes. To good listener with few words have more than enough.
