You probably have the right to consult the popular will in the Catalan case. But there are some nuances that lead this supposed right down perverse paths. Namely:
- If the very Government that requests the right to consultation goes out under the banner of Yes to independence even on the very day of the Region that represents everyone, the idea is perverted to unacceptable levels.
- If the approval of the Constitution that unites us all and that supported a great majority of Catalans is ignored ..., the Pandora's box opens on all the consultations that have occurred and to be.
- If the necessary starting point of equality ends up skewed by public media that blatantly support one of the factions, the scene is saturated with dark propaganda.
- If history is shamelessly upset, if economic aspects are used as a foundation when that region has been repeatedly favored (either by them, by all the Catalans who have managed to prosper, bad by the independentists who omit that progressive gain to announce that in the currently pay more than they receive) the decision ends up oriented towards manipulated and distorting drives.
And so far my opinion, which is not small ...
Joan Coscubiela It is not that he agrees with me, but at least he dares to raise his voice, like many other politicians, thinkers and writers (not so much footballers or football coaches with relatives charging from the independence machinery) who speak with the necessary equidistance in the face of radicalism. (Equidistance is demonized, but between the bipolarity of the process and the Spanish government it will always be more successful, despite how much we are led today towards positioning by one or the other in any aspect).
Joan reaffirms her right to vote as something undeniable. But in the same way it confirms that one-sidedness, above even the majority of people, is obviously not the way.
The impunity that the promoters of the disconnection thought was not such. Regardless of whether preventive prisons can always and in any case be seen as more or less unjust (the arguments of possibility of escape and other factors are always subjective elements that the judge adds motu proprio to the law itself), justice is due to what that is due, without any discrimination. Many of us would like that finally M. Rajoy was accused of corruption, but the final demonstration is not as easy as the evident accusation of the independentistas who with light and stenographers declared an independence with their backs turned to the majority of Catalans and against the law.
Again I have been carried away by my particular thought. Coscubiela does not see the solution in court. In this book Bogged down, politics is called for (I will not say high-mindedness because it is a term that, from hackneyed by indecent politicians, has lost all value).
Coscubiela asked for politics on September 7, 2017 when she assured that she would let her face split so that she could vote, but without skipping the rights of all Catalans (we must not forget that independent Catalans will always be Catalans. And yet with their disconnection They wanted to strip the Catalans of their Spanish identity, who, as many or more like them, still felt that they were Spanish)
Coscubiela couldn't define it better. Everything is bogged down. It is so necessary to reform the Constitution and open new scenarios as it is achieved through legal, political or even popular pressure channels. Everything, any argument is valid except for the slap of pulling down the middle road considering that it has the only truth, authentic Catalanism and an authority forged by the blood of a country drawn in its imagination.
Coscubiela is also right in defining certain Spanish spaces as stale. The point is that the clash of blind legitimacies is served. And none of those that are serve the cause of common sense.
