(Local News 2) Independence for Catalunya



Margallo ve un "tremendo error" en el independentismo catalán

The Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo announced today (04/14) that he did not think that Catalunya becoming independent was a logical idea. He stated that it was almost impossible due to the fact that United Nations and The European Union would have to back them on this and it is "not viable" as an option. He also state that the EU "will never accept secession". 
The book above "Leones contra Dioses" was published this year and Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo helped present the book and used it in his speech about Catalunya seperating. The book discusses the economics of the Spain and features the Madrid stock market and the politicians. Overall, it shows the unequal battle between the two. It also highlights the debt crisis in Europe, mainly in Spain. Jose uses the book to discusses the importance of Catalunya staying a part of Spain and working together to get Spain out of debt. 
After reading through the article I could tell that Jose was a right wing party member before even researching him. I got out of this that he wants Catalunya to stay part of Spain because he wants Catalunya to help pay back the debt Spain has accumulated. It's funny because after researching the ERC so much I learned a lot from their party. A lot of what they had to say was that Spain wanted to keep Catalunya in the loop because they were making such large profits which Spain taxed highly. 
The Prime Minister of Spain, Jose said "relations between the central government and Catalan are "cordial" and that good relations are necessary for political stability, also necessary for economic growth and job creation. "When we say to discuss what is possible and what is not, things will improve even more".
