Loading ...Spain Catalans Protest For Independence Following Scotland’s Lead
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of Catalans energized by Scotland’s upcoming independence referendum protested Thursday for a secession vote aimed at carving out a new Mediterranean nation in what is now northeastern Spain.
The events illustrated how the Scottish vote in just one week is captivating breakaway minded Europeans in several countries.
Sporting bright yellow and red shirts representing the colors of the Catalonian flag emblazoned with the phrase “Now is the time,” protesters in Barcelona shouted “Independencia!”
In Italy, the leader of the Northern League party that supports independence or greater autonomy for several northern regions said his supporters “are rooting for the separatists” because independence for Scotland would send a message to the EU that other European separatists deserve the right to vote on their future.
Catalonia, which is bigger and in relation to Spain stronger than Scotland in relation to England,” said Florenca, 65. “Catalonia is potentially much more powerful.”
“We are hoping that (Scotland) goes through, because it would give a breath of fresh air to a campaign that doesn’t end in Scotland but continues in Catalonia and will arrive in Veneto,” he said, referring to Italy’s northern Veneto region.
Comment:
Be happy. The new world order that started in 1913 lasted until the summer of 2008. TPTB kept the “game” going as long as possible, and in the face of growing failure globally, they REFUSE to admit, not MAN enough to admit it was all a big mistake,
or refuse to admit that the peoples representatives were FOOLED by big business into consolidating and integrating so many independent countries, financial systems and integrated manufacturing and production globally.
Media admitting or acknowledging old growing news.
