EPTBoth sides will have to sit down and negotiate an exit from the situation... If they don't want to, they will be forced internationally. The police brutality just made the spanish position for the negotiations a lot weaker.

Mariano Rajoy response was totally speaking to its base, but to be honest everyone is just shouting for their bases. That's only what matters in this, how much political gain you will get from the shitshow and make people forget about PPs or CIUs corruption cases. Meanwhile both populations get used like the retards they are. | ||

You could actually say that dissolution of the nation state and replacing it with strong but limited governance at the top, and broad participation at the bottom is pretty much the 'European utopia' | ||

Except staying in the EU as an independent nation is the majority opinion amongst Catalan independentists (insofar as that can be polled accurately). Regardless of how realistic that option is, it's what they want, because EU is overwhelmingly seen as a good thing in Spain. Catalan independence is purely an internal matter in that sense. | ||

Bank runs are a real chance. | ||

Iirc giving Catalonia the same rights as the Basques now have, at latest when the Basques got them, would have solved most of this some time ago? But well, stupid Catalans tought that bombing would not be the one true way to get some more independence/rights from spain... Now its just a giant shitshow and i don't see how this can end good for Spain. It is lose/lose for the spanish goverment because it is against any actual solution. | ||

And that's why i think the PP isn't really losing with this. Their electorate is happier than ever, corruption is not talked anymore, and they had been for years doing this because they know Catalan independentism isn't going away, the only thing.that can go away in the long run is their status as economical horse of the state, and make Madrid be that one. They had put in place plenty of laws which would portray or make Madrid as the biggest contributor to redistribution, but in reality they are just cooking the books. Atleast short-term. | ||

Some guys think that they have the right to take some teritory and to create their own country. The state that owns the teritory disagrees and conflict happens. Pretty simple. And what do you mean by saying "How can eu unite" ? It's pretty united even right now. Also let me remind you that Europe was in constant war for the past 5k+ years. We have war on the continent even right now. In every country there are groups of people that are not exactly happy with the current political map. Some of them decided to take action, but I can't see how that is related to the EU and it's unity. | ||

Let's see (Non-Europeans don't vote please) Poll: What feels more important? Being European (20) Being [your nationality] (9) 29 total votes Your vote: What feels more important? Obviously you can be both, but I'm curious which is more important to you guys. | ||
