Catalonia on the brink

  Ramon Ramos
  Catalonia voters in the Spanish Republic will vote on the 27 whether to secede from Spain. The Catalan people have preserved their language despite decades of suppression and are now expressing nationalistic ideas about breaking up with the people who only wanted to hear Spanish in such international cities as Barcelona. Catalon leader Arthur Mas has stated if the people vote on the referendum he will set out a goal of quick independence of this nation with deep historical roots as a separate people and culture. For forty years under Spanish dictator Francisco France intense attempts were do e to erase this language as a separate identity. Franco used all institutions at his disposal to suppress the Catalan culture and decades later after his death he would be rolling in his grave had he seen this prestigious cultural reclamation  efforts to preserve this identity. The language has over thirteen million adherents making it the ninth largest language in Europe so this is no remote linguistic and regional effort. The language has a long publishing history as long as the first printing presses and is well represented in the Spanish media with its alternative channels and stations. These regional elections are big news and again the neo-liberal order is trying to thwart an independence movement in Europe threatening to put sanctions and kick them out of the Euro. A movement of democracy such as this scares the globalists and why they push harder for migrations to disrupt feelings for a nation state based on ethnicity. The Central bankers in Europe will do everything in their power to disrupt this vote and make it impossible for this region to leave central control of it by Madrid. They will freeze the assets and deposits of this land and shut them off from future funding. European officials say the country wold have to reapply to join the European Union if this vote succeeds and if Catalona is smart they wold celebrate being free of this dirty Union as much as their newfound independence. The independence of Catlannoa can be an awakening to other movements and regions seeking to jump ship from Central authorities that construct a global order of trade to keep a few middlemen in control of government and all the revenues and benefits of trade.
