Major upheaval in Spain now, old wounds from the 1930s civil war coming to the fore, and some violence already, with many Spaniards in the streets
BBC introduction here
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-67368314
After an inconclusive election, Spain's leftist government acted to prolong its power, by doing an amnesty deal for the leaders of independence-seeking Catalonia
Many think this reasonable - the Catalonians are sincere, they tried to break peacefully ... and it seems they have a full legal right to separate, under higher international law:
- Article 1 of the UN Charter guaranteeing 'self-determination of peoples'
- Confirmation of this in 2010 by the Hague International Court in the Kosovo case, that regions have a right to separate like Muslim Kosovo did from Serbia, this is not 'illegal'
But the majority of Spain is angry at the 'deal', the anger led by the right wing, and even thousands of Spanish judges ... they are claiming that this is 'leftist dictatorship', and ending 'rule of law', because they think only of local Spanish laws dis-allowing regional independence.
The Spaniards are refusing to consider the higher, international law on self-determination ... knowing it is perhaps the end of Spain, as those speaking Basque, and the Portuguese-speaking Galicians, may be next to separate.
Adding fuel to the fire, the corrupt EU is supporting the right wing Spanish nationalists in denouncing 'amnesty' for peaceful people ... the EU hates 'self-determination' applying to the Russians of East Ukraine, and to EU citizens and anyone generally
BBC on an assassination attempt that just occurred:
'In an indication of the febrile atmosphere surrounding the deal, a founder of the far-right Vox party was shot in the head and wounded on a street in Madrid. Alejo Vidal-Quadras, 78, had earlier condemned the "infamous amnesty pact", warning that it would make Spain a "totalitarian tyranny". Mr Vidal-Quadras was said to be in a stable condition.'
“ Zionism is contrary to the identity of the European peoples , to the spiritual resurgence of Europe, to the rebirth of the European genius, to the free future of our children and to honesty.”
These are words spoken by the president of Soluciona in Catalonia and candidate for Mayor of Barcelona, Gerard Bellalta .
Bellalta launched a harsh broadside against the influence of Zionism in most of the dramatic events that are taking place in the world and, in this context, asked the Spanish Government to distance itself “from the Zionist State of Israel , which runs a system of apartheid, and practices of racial discrimination , including genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories , as is currently occurring.”
After saying that Catalonia is the Spanish region with the highest percentage of “pro-Zionists” in key positions within politics , communication and finance , the Catalan leader of Soluciona went further and assured that “Zionism controls Catalan nationalism , started by President Artur Mas and the Pujol family."
(The Pujol scandal might weaken the Catalan government, but ...
19 Aug 2014 - Jordi Pujol, the former president of the Catalan government between 1980 and 2003, has faced a corruption scandal.)

... The Catalan mentality , with the elitist fantasies and pretensions of certain Catalan categories, with the vocation for power based on money and with the vocational victimhood fueled by the Catalan discourse and even the barely concealed cultural racism of many Catalans towards other Spaniards...
Gerard Bellalta highlighted that “a majority ignores that the Holocaust is the basis of Israel's financing and, therefore, of the conflict in the Middle East . ”
In this sense, he referred to the case of the president of the Mauthausen Victims Association , the Catalan Enric Marco Batlló.
“It was proven that he did not experience the Holocaust . A big scandal.
“The renowned Israeli writer Boas Evron stated that Holocaust consciousness is actually an official propaganda indoctrination , a mass production of slogans and false visions of the world, whose true objective is not at all the understanding of the past but the manipulation of the present . This manipulation is based on the conception of it as an unrepeatable and unparalleled fact, in the manner of a mystery religion. It should be noted that the word holocaust appears 219 times in the Old Testament , and it was the sacrifice 'primarily of animals' that the Jewish people made to Jehovah ," he addedBellalta also denounced attempts to discredit European identity groups through violent actions that are signed by people with deep-rooted Zionist convictions. ”
Self-determination for Catalonia, also echoes strongly for self-determination for Palestine, another reason the EU is suddenly attacking the Spanish left it used to favour
ReplyDeletePolitics across the West are re-aligning rapidly
- the left finding new energy in supporting Palestine, thinking about 'freedom' again
- the populist right undermined by its pro-Israel reflexes
- Jewish leaders stunned that minorities are viewing them as a subgroup of 'white colonialists' rather than a 'partner minority'
pro-Palestine street protests are quite diverse - many shades of brown, white, and black people
pro-Israel demos seem rather 'white' with a few darker-hued Jews ... and the outlier support for Israel from India's Hindus
self-determination is such a beautiful, powerful theme
but it makes all big powers uneasy
Russia, China, Iran also all long accused of oppressing minority ethnic regions too
even tho it's proven countries can be separate, different, but still work together
ISRAEL: ZIONISM CONTROLS CATALAN INDEPENDENTISM “ Zionism is contrary to the identity of the European peoples , to the spiritual resurgence of Europe, to the rebirth of the European genius, to the free future of our children and to honesty.” These are words spoken by the president of Soluciona in Catalonia and candidate for Mayor of Barcelona, Gerard Bellalta .

After denouncing that Catalonia is the Spanish region with the highest percentage of “pro-Zionists” in key positions within politics , communication and finance , the Catalan leader of Soluciona went further and assured that “Zionism controls Catalan nationalism , starting "by President Artur Mas and the Pujol family . This declared philo-Semitism could not be less, it is totally consistent with the Catalan mentality , with the elitist fantasies and pretensions of certain Catalan categories, with the vocation for power based on money and with the vocational victimhood fueled by the Catalan discourse and even the barely concealed cultural racism of many Catalans towards other Spaniards. That Israel and the Jews are a model for someone already says a lot about the moral and spiritual character of the person who displays that admiration or identification. For example, one button is enough: Pilar Rahola ,” added the politician and businessmanHe also said that “when it comes to fighting against the Zionist ideology and its enormous crimes, it is important to bring to light the way they act. First to understand and then to be able to counter them , to not be fooled by their propaganda . ”
Thus, Gerard Bellalta highlighted that “a majority ignores that the Holocaust is the basis of Israel's financing and, therefore, of the conflict in the Middle East . ” In this sense, he referred to the case of the president of the Mauthausen Victims Association , the Catalan Enric Marco Batlló. “It was proven that he did not experience the Holocaust . A big scandal that was closed with a small mouth, despite the fact that the aforementioned Marco came to cry at many of the charity events that he organized.
“The renowned Israeli writer Boas Evron stated that Holocaust consciousness is actually an official propaganda indoctrination , a mass production of slogans and false visions of the world, whose true objective is not at all the understanding of the past but the manipulation of the present . This manipulation is based on the conception of it as an unrepeatable and unparalleled fact, in the manner of a mystery religion. It should be noted that the word holocaust appears 219 times in the Old Testament , and it was the sacrifice 'primarily of animals' that the Jewish people made to Jehovah ," he addedBellalta also denounced attempts to discredit European identity groups through violent actions that are signed by people with deep-rooted Zionist convictions.
