There is no such thing as a “right to secede”.
You have the ability to TRY, but then you must win the ensuing conflict, because the central government is charged with protecting the territorial integrity of the nation.....obviously Spain sucks at that *cough* migrants, but that doesn’t mean they sure aren’t going to try when a chuck of metropolitan Spain tries to break away, because if they win, that will be the end of Spain as all of the other regions, especially the Basque, will be on the exit tomorrow.
A neo-Francoist Spain may result from the chaos.
“There is no such thing as a “right to secede”.”
I’ll go with our founders on this point. Yes, you can expect to be ground under heel by those who don’t want you to separate, but the right to separate exists nonetheless.
could you say more about your opinion that people don’t have the right to secede? I read somewhere in the declaration of independence people had a broad rights to be independent or did I misread something? What right would you have to keep them associated with you? the right of war? Is that how you “enforce” freedom?
Too bad the police and state hasn’t put as much energy and effort in protecting its citizens against Islam.
Spain has no safety net like most of Western Europe. You either have a job or you go hungry. Most *cough* migrants that make it to shore from Africa keep right on going to the French border and beyond.
