It's really funny listening to the President of the government of Catalonia talking about repression when his salary is 145.471 euros, and the President of the government of Spain salary is 78.185,04 euros. Yep, the public salary of many presidents of a part of Spain is bigger than the president of the whole. That's for give you a picture of the current craziness.

You won't get many responses because the PC thing is to side with Catalonia, but this is the whole story: a money grab scheme. It's been going on for ages. With B- debt rating, collapsing health care system, and massive public spending on things like the one you mention, they simply need money. Plan post-independence is to seize all public assets belonging to the Spanish state (funds, buildings, public companies, ...), while retaining their first customer (the rest of Spain), pay no tariffs (stay in EU), and no taxes to central state. Before anyone answer with "but the Spanish state too": yes, same shit, which doesn't invalidate anything I said. edit: wording

  The 'original sin' is the political over-representation of the nationalist parties because both PSOE and PP have needed their support for the Spanish government most of the time. In exchange of too much concessions, of course.

    > The 'original sin' is the political over-representation of the nationalist parties Or you don't know about Spanish election system or you'r just lying. I think is the former. There is no over-representation of nationalist parties, there is a over-representation of both majority parties, PP and PSOE. Almost all the provinces have 3 diputates and the third pary doesn't have any representation.
