Oops! Read down the thread. There are disagreements with #10.
Catalonia has been in flux for centuries. They been ruled by France, and Spain and been a semi-independent autonomous (Republic) region. The basque region is similar, though smaller. I think.
There’s a lot of old grudges going around. Add muzzies into the mix....
Overall, Europe’s been a basket case for a couple of millennia.
Why the flag of Puerto Rico?
It’s inspiration lies in the Cuban flag. That should tell you something about them.
It is the Catalan independence flag.
Thanks. Slightly different I see.
That works for me.
Well I’m getting mixed messages on that.
Nevertheless, I believe in self determination. If the people of Catalan want out, then it should be granted.
Maybe there’s something you can tell me about Catalan culture. How does it suffer from the rest of Spain?
Well that would be fine as long as the law is followed, and it was not.
What about the Catalan people who don’t want to leave? What have the Catalans who love being Spanish?
The problem in Catalunya is that they have had so much autonomy that it has gone toxic, especially with regard to the anti-Spanish indoctrination doled out in the public schools for nearly four decades.
That just begs the question. Does the Catalan vote to secede from Spain represent the Will of the People of Catalonia?
LOL.
Euroscum fighting Euroweenies......
Communists teamed up with Qatar money to try to get people to secede. It’s so Catalan can become a marxist hell hole that has open door to moslem invasion. Nothing nice or good about this secession movement so-called.
There were many irregularities and illegalities about the vote, and only about 40% of the voters of Catalan even voted at all, which actually by Spanish constitution, nullified it.
You should know that we have many friends in Spain and all of Europe. They are not as vocal as our detractors and, in many cases, encouraged to shut their mouths with regard to the subject as it’s very unPC. I can attest to this because of many years of personal experience.
The EU believes in “free markets” for big corporate elites and has no belief in traditional values, it opposes Catalan independence.
And you think that the Catalan separatists are somehow in favor of traditional values?
