Scandalous (My First Attempt on This Website) I promised not to write about what has been going on recently in my country. However, after seeing what happened yesterday, I cannot help but try to explain it though I firmly believe that there is no understandable explanation. Although my opinion might be biased, I will try to stick to the facts. Most of you may not know that there is a Spanish region that has been trying by all means to become an independent state. Maybe this is an insignificant issue bearing in mind what is happening right now all over the world; the heightened tension between North Korea and the U.S.A., in which all their allies are also involved, the terrible situation that some people are getting through in some American and Caribbean states because of the worst hurricanes ever recorded, and others. But although these issues are very worrying, right now I am more worried about what the Catalan government wants to achieve. These rulers want to hold an illegal referendum in which people would decide whether they want to remain being a Spanish region or become an independent nation. The Catalan government claims that the national government is not democratic because it does not allow them to choose freely. But the thing is that if they hold the referendum, they will break the law of laws. That is, the Spanish Constitution which was written by a group of wises and intellectuals from every political party when the dictator who was ruling the country died in 1975. After that, the Constitution was ratified by the Spanish people in referendum. Yesterday, the Catalan Government and its allies decided unilaterally to carry on with this nonsense by passing a law to celebrate the referendum on 1st October. The opposition tried that this law was not approved but seeing that they would not get anything, they left the chamber as a protest. Believe me if I tell you that many more embarrassing situations were saw in the Catalan Congress yesterday. Although now many legal actions will be taken against the law and the people who passed it, the truth is that Spain and Catalonia are broken. I seriously think that the only goal of the Catalan Government is to go down in history as the government that got that Catalonia was an independent nation at all costs. And that is regrettable.
