Hillonearth Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 9 hours ago, paul-r-cfc said: Slovenian socialist party seem convinced that Slovenia will recognise Catalonia if independence is declared. Suppose they have recent history with secession but would still be quite a development. Can't say I would have envisaged any EU member states recognising it. Also, Rajoy has sent an angry email to Belgium after Brussels dared to suggest mediation between Madrid and Barcelona. The nerve of them! It would be a bit rich if some Central and Eastern European countries didn't. "Slovenia? You're part of Yugoslavia, ya dicks." "Latvia? Oh, you mean the Latvian SSR..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 They should call the bluff of another election. Thanks to the actions of Madrid there will never be a better time for those in favour of independence, and it would be a clear mandate if they won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assumes that parties calling for independence would actually be allowed to run in January. Spain has banned parties like Herri Batasuna from the electoral process in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
