And maybe is not a bad thing if it goes that way. Every nation/region with its own voice, if we have a real European UNION there is no problem at all.

An interesting read is to read about Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway did a short documentary

Eat, Drink and Be Silent when they have bigger guns.

RIP José Manuel Maza
 
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/w...y-general.html

"Spain’s attorney general, José Manuel Maza, who was leading the prosecution of the separatist Catalan leaders, died on Saturday while in Argentina to attend an international law conference."

Cause of death said to be kidney infection. Strange he died in Argentina?

IMHO there are good honest men on both sides of the Catalan issue. This man, the honorable Sr Maza, was doing his best to abide by the laws of his country in the face of much adversity. The separatists, some in prison, are following the hearts and minds of many people who want to separate from Spain.

There is a parallel here with the divisions among the Sunni, Shiites and Kurds of Iraq. In general and sometimes albeit temporarily, the Sunni control the north, the Shiites control the south and the Kurds control their ancestral lands. Armies come in and alter the boundaries, but the divisions remain in place.

This separatists movement in Catalan will persist. Catalan like the "oil fields" of Iraq - represents much wealth.
