Fun. This should help the tourism and tax revenue.

Merkel, Juncker and Tusk are working the phones, telling Spain they had better NOT screw up their fascist EU project.

Gosh, There might be good travel deals to Barcelona. Maybe I should cancel my vacation in North Korea?

Years ago I lived in Spain and at the time the Spanish people in general always struck me as a lot of bluster and hand waving but when a fist flew they were stunned and unprepared. They are demonstrative but not violent. So now the lines are drawn will this really come to blows? Would Spanish soldiers really be willing to fire on other Spaniards? Or will this all end up in a conference room? Interesting times.

Another thought: back when I lived there it was the Basque region that was hot about separation. Do they take this opportunity to revise that and declare themselves independent?

Yeh that’s not going to go over well. Civil war on the horizon.

La Legion (Spanish Legion) has been bored.
Also the Guardia Civil.
They get some excitement now.

The Spanish government can brush off a history book and read how the British Parliament reacted to the Boston Tea Party. Maybe they can close the port of Barcelona until the Catalans come to their senses.

There is a back story here that is not being discussed.

The Basques have been at war on and off with Spain for years. If Catalonia gets independence, the Basques will revolt and they are a very capable people.

Spain has a deep hatred for the Brits continued hold on Gibraltar. Spain is in a critical geopolitical location and has historically been afraid of breaking up.

They are still smarting from the Muslim conquest and the Franco revolution.

Very ironic that the descendants of muslim animals are now smart enough to want to break free of Spain to fight the muslim animals.

So when does the Spanish Army start their slashing and burning campaign?
