I know this @Guardian article will be well received in Catalonia (ooh, a UK paper says we should have free elections!) but it is hopelessly misinformed. Let me count the ways...
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
There has been absolutely NO credible offer from Spain in the last ten years for a fair deal for Catalonia. Promising is not doing. Not even signed agreements and budgeted items are respected.
OMG, @Guardian, nothing says "flexibility" like refraining from closing down Catalan TV and radio. Spain's PP is using Article 155 to impose its own party policy, despite representing only 8.5% of the vote. #Notdemocracy
All wrong. Independentists aren't divided on Puigdemont continuing the fight from Belgium, though we are dismayed that Europe has been practically silent on Spanish thuggery. And Spain's fear mongering is ugly.
No, we're not fragmented, we're diverse, like any society. It's a good thing. We debate, we think, and we vote. And Ciudadanos is NOT centrist, they vote 95% with PP, who they put in office. Where did you get that idea?
Oh my, those Catalan radicals, wanting to choose their future by voting, and averse to Spain dissolving their government, jailing their leaders, refusing to hear their voices. We are radically democratic, dear @Guardian. And you are a disappointment.
