I'm fed up with you, guys

After having read many times The Economist’s piece “How much is enough?” (November, 6th), I can only say "I’m fed up with you, guys". It is an example of biased journalism. Well, to be truth, this is not journalism. It comes straight from a Spanish government-contracted PR agency.

Your approach to the issue is clearly committed to one point of view. So, now, it seems that Liberty has degrees, right? Of course not. Liberty has no degrees at all. You’re free to choose your own future or you’re not free, and someone decides your future on your behalf. That is the key question.

From the author’s point of view, Catalans do not deserve the same rights as Slovenes, Slovaks, Finnish, Lithuanians, or Irish peoples. Are Catalan human beings, with dignity and rights , or only subjects to tax extraction, cultural annihilation and economic and social impoverishment?

If, as the author states, Independentism is marginal, why the Spanish government, politicians and media oppose to a Catalonia self-determination referendum?

Are Catalans not entitled to decide their own future? Are we different from other Europeans nations?

After more than three centuries of Spanish and French aggression, we’re still alive. We’ve survived, and yes, we have failed to gain statehood. But also we have overcome extinction. Sometimes paying a big price, in lifes and pain. So here we are.

And believed it or not, Spanish credit is exhausted. The autonomy model will be killed in a matter of weeks, thanks to the Constitutional Court sentence. The federal model is a bad joke. No one is federalist in Spain.

The only “great Spanish project” is the one that sees Madrid as the cosmic, universal center of the World, even though they have failed to be an Olympic City (sorry, amigos, I think that 2016 won’t be your turn… again).

The only “great Spanish project” is a racist driven vision of the cultural diversity principle. A vision that considers there are cultures and languages not only different, but superior than others. And that those inferiors cultures fate is extinction in a more or less tolerant way.

The only “great Spanish project” is the one that exists in the mind –and the pocket- of those puppet Catalan politicians like Mr. Narcís Serra –implicated, by the way, in the dirty war against ETA, that is in the state-sponsored terrorism in the eighties- or like J.A. Duran i Lleida –whose party faces very serious judicial problems due to corruption accusation-, that deny to their own people the right to a better life, with liberty and dignity…

In fact, what this article shows is the fear and terror that Spanish politicians and media have that sooner than later a vast majority of Catalans will opt democratically for Independence. And to the fact that to oppose such a decision, the Spanish government won’t be able to use the army, since that will be condemn by NATO and EU partners, and of course by public opinion -may be with the exception of The Economist, that will applaud it.

(And because the Spanish state lacks the economic and military resources needed, other than the puremacho element, that is “balls”).

Is it necessary to remind you that Spain has not yet recognized Kosovo Independence? You may say that Catalonia has nothing to do with Kosovo. May be you think that they belong to different planets. But that’s not true, I know for sure. What’s more, they belong to the same continent. Of course they are different cases. But precisely because they are not the same cases, why Spain is afraid to recognise Kosovo Independence? Because they know perfectly well the implications of such recognition.

The next Independence wave, in the following decade, will include Quebec, Scotland –less probably, Wales- and, yes, Catalonia’s. Also it will see the break-up of Belgian federation and Ireland reunification.

So I advise you to sit in a couch and try to assimilate it. Because you will see it, and better to accept it in the name of Liberty and Democracy. On the contrary, you will have to swallow all of it. From the beginning to the end, my friends.

The Boss in Barcelona, and speaking Catalan

Spanish terrorism strikes again

On Sunday, a provoked fire damaged Bloc Nacionalista Valencià's headquarter in Benicàssim, a very important tourist and beach municipality located 13 km. north from Castelló de la Plana. This is the third time that the same building is attacked by Spanish terrorist organisations that want to threat all those who consider that the territory south of Sènia river is also an integral part of the Catalan nation.

As usually, this agression has attracted no attention from mainstream media, neither from València nor from Barcelona cities. However, this is another step forward towards the terror campaign implemented by Spain, against Catalan identity. Let's remember it. We must stop all the fascist-style agression and bring all the criminals to the justice -not the Spanish one, cause it is not fair and balanced in these issues, but to the international judicial stances.

Also it deserves to be mentioned that a terrorist campaign including threatening graffities is on the move in Valencia's city section of Barri del Carme. Again menaces and threats are written on the walls against patriotic and leftists organisations and people.

JOINT EFA DECLARATION ON THE FUTURE OF
THE CONSTRUCTION OF EUROPE BY THE EDINBURGH GROUP

Yesterday, representatives from independentists parties within the European Union, signed a Political Declaration, in demand of the recognition of the internal enlargement.

At the meeting, held in Edinburgh, Scotland, attended the top representatives of the following political parties: Ian Hudghton (Scottish National Party), Ieuan Wyn Jones (Plaid Cymru, Wales), Josep Lluís Carod Rovira (Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya), Geert Lambert (Spirit, Flanders), Unai Ziarreta (Eusko Alkartasuna, Euskalherria) and Anxo Quintana (Bloque Nacioalista Galego). All these parties belong to European Free Alliance eurogroup in the European Parliament.

By internal enlargement is understood the process current non-state nations within EU, once they will access to independence, will be granted EU full membership status.

The signature is a big step forward to the coordination strategy of all those political groups. We have to bear in mind that in the years to come, in some of these nations are scheduled or preparing self-determination referenda. These are the cases of Euskalherria (2008-2010), Scotland (2010) and Catalunya (2014).

From this blog I hail this initiative, and expect it to have a real impact in the hearts and minds of eurocrats.

AGAINST SPANISH TERRORISM

Last december saw the constitution of a new citizen platform against Spanish terrorism impunity. The first activity that the new platform will carry out will be to participate in the judicial trial against 27 thugs arrested under Operation Panzer in 2005. The platform will exercise the popular accusation against them.

Among the arrested and put to trial thugs, there are some of the most violent, nazi friendly assets operating in València area and surroundings. Even one of them was sentenced to 16 years for the killing of a Catalan Patriot. But after 4 years in prison the spanish colonial judicial system allow him to get out. 

Members of the new citizen platform , in a meeting with the local press, said that in València area and sorroundings the spanish terrorism has committed 600 attacks against homosexuals, immigrants and Catalan Patriots and leftist militants. It is by far the Spanish state area with most of such actions. They pointed to police, certain medias and the Spanish Popular Party of a kind of toleration towards this terrorism that threats the free and democratic life.

In order to underline the danger these spanish thugs represent, just take a look of the weapons storage seized following their crack down: rifles, guns, pen-guns, machetes, katanas, knives, knuckle dusters, war stuff coming from Spanish army, including a grenade launcher, two 25 mm grenades, and also medieval age weaponry. A total of 18 facilities were stormed, in València (HQ), Sagunt, Puçol, Xiva, La Pobla de Farnals, Torrent, Silla, Paterna, La Font de la Figuera, Burjassot and Xirivella.

Although my trust in the spanish colonial judicial system is below zero, I think sometimes it is compelled to save the forms. My personal opinion is that this bunch of thugs opted to be free riders, so they became a risk for Spanish established powers, and so they chose to finish them.

We must continue our fight against the spanish terrorism. Unfortunately it is a fight far to be over. Media, political, judicial and police elements support it in an every day more open way. Also it is worth to be mentioned the implication of military personnel in these gangs. Spanish professional military soldiers had committed terrible acts of violence in the last years including assassinations of ordinary people just for fun or after a traffic accident.
