New life of European separatism

89

The one and a half million demonstrations in Barcelona in support of Catalan independence and the Catalan parliament, which came under the control of two separatist parties, became the most visible signs of a new flourishing of separatism in Europe. Earlier, in October 2012, British Prime Minister Cameron and Scottish First Minister Salmond signed an agreement to hold a referendum on the independence of this part of the United Kingdom in 2014. At the same time in the local elections in Belgium, Flemish separatists from the "New Flemish Alliance" won. Nationalists also came to power in the Basque Country in Spain ...

The examples cited are just the “surface part” of Europe’s huge separatist iceberg, which includes more 40 political parties and social movements that are part of the European Free Alliance. This non-governmental organization is a kind of European internationalist regionalists, autonomists and moderate separatists. In the same Spain, in addition to the rebellious Catalans and the Basques, the separatists operate in Andalusia, Asturias, Valencia and Galicia.

In Italy, the incessant desire of the rich north to form their own state called Padania regularly holds the central authorities in suspense. Another part of Italy’s north, South Tyrol, dominated by the German population, was also intensified. Separatists in this region are demanding a referendum for joining a more prosperous Austria.

In France, supporters of independence are multiplying in Corsica, in Provence, Savoy and Brittany. In Corsica, for example, the activities of militants from the underground organization Corsican National Independence in 1990-s cost the lives of more than three thousand people. In Provence, warfare did not come to an end, but the idea of ​​an independent Occitania is present in the minds. Occitan separatism is especially noticeable in Nice. This city was annexed to France under the 1860 treaty of the year with the Sardinian kingdom. In the same year, Savoy was annexed to France. Celebrating the 100 anniversary of this event as well as in Nice, led to a surge in separatism. A small circle "Club Savoyard Savoy" grew up in the "Savoy League".

The Bretons are of the opinion that they are more French than the French themselves; at the same time they have their own language, extending into the depths of the Celtic stories. The Bretons have a bad attitude towards immigrants from Asia and Africa who have filled the country - the percentage of Arabs and blacks in the region is insignificant. From among them came the head of the National Front, Marine Le Pen, who, incidentally, defends the territorial integrity of France.

In Poland, separatists were discovered in Upper Silesia, which formerly belonged to Germany. The movement for autonomy of Upper Silesia was created as early as 1990, and would have been considered a gathering of marginalized people, if during the 2002 population census it was not revealed that thousands of people in the country chose to call themselves 173 not as Poles, but as Silesians. Experts say that in the whole of Poland the Silesians number at least a million people.

Catalonia: to be a referendum!

Today in Europe, those provinces that donate towards their neighbors and the center revolt first of all. These include Catalonia in Spain. The main discontent of the Catalans is in the wrong, in their opinion, the distribution of finances. They believe that the central government in Madrid, taking tax revenues from Catalonia, does not return them to the regional treasury in the proper amount. In Catalonia, they claim that every year the local government pays the center an ounce of more than a billion euros for the 16 than it spends on its own. The Catalans are tired of sponsoring the rest of the country, while the state of the local infrastructure leaves much to be desired. And despite the fact that in terms of GDP per capita (more than 30 thousand euros!), Catalonia is on a par with Great Britain and Austria.

Economic difficulties are imposed on centuries of historical and language disputes between the Catalans and the rest of Spain. Residents of the region, in particular, speak their own specific language, which belongs to the Gallo-Romance group of languages ​​and is very close to the Occitan language in French Provence. The language of the Catalans for many generations was oppressed by the Spanish authorities, and during the dictatorship Franco was completely banned.

November 25 The 2012 year in Catalonia held extraordinary regional elections, in which parties that are in favor of separating Catalonia from Spain won almost two-thirds of the seats in the local parliament. Long before they were held, the head of the Catalan government, Arthur Mas, promised that if he won them, he would hold a referendum on independence.

So it happened. A vote on the independence of Catalonia is scheduled for November 9 of 2014. The government of the Spanish province adopted such a decision, despite the direct prohibition of Madrid. The Declaration of Sovereignty of the Parliament of Catalonia adopted at the beginning of 2012. However, the Spanish Constitutional Court immediately declared the document illegal. And the current step of the Catalan Cabinet in the Spanish capital was commented on in the same vein: there will be no referendum.

To which of the "rebellious" provinces answered: there may go for a unilateral declaration of independence. Confirming these words on January 16, the confident majority of the Catalan Parliament (87 vs 43 with 3 abstentions) confirmed the government’s decision and voted in favor of a referendum on independence.

Flemish against the Walloons

The economic crisis revealed a chronic ulcer of separatism in Belgium, which consists of two parts, in which two non-close people live. The southern part is Wallonia, where French-speaking Walloons reside. North - Flanders, or the Flemish region of Belgium, whose population speaks Dutch.

Up until the end of the Second World War, the power in the country belonged to the Walloons. Thanks to coal mines and heavy industry, Wallonia was superior to Flanders in economic development. The language of the Flemish, constituting more than half of the country's population, was not even official. But after the end of the war, Flanders, on the basis of new high-tech industries, managed to reach a leading position in the economy. Flemish became the second state language - along with French. Wallonia is in crisis. The steel and coal industry, as the "postindustrial economy" grew, gradually died.

Against the backdrop of the critical state of European finance, the more economically developed Flanders is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the current mechanism of tax deductions to the country's budget. On average, the northern part of Belgium each year transfers to the state treasury an 16 billion euro more than the southern one. The integrity of the country is also threatened because more than half of the 11 million people in Belgium live in Flanders.

At the local elections held in Belgium in October 2012, the Flemish nationalists won the elections for the full independence of Flanders. Their leader, Bart de Vever, who became the mayor of Antwerp after the victory of his party, constantly notes the perverse, in his view, system of redistributing finances in favor of Wallonia. “The Flemish are tired of being mistaken for cows that are needed only because of the milk they give,” says de Wever.

The Flemish nationalists now make it clear that if Scotland gets a pass to the European Union and NATO, they will be next in line. They will probably make the final decision based on the results of the next parliamentary elections, which will be held on 25 on May 2014, simultaneously with the elections to the European Parliament.

In the event of the disappearance of Belgium from the map of Europe, the consequences will be unpredictable - and this is for the entire continent. If Flanders wants to unite with Holland, we will talk about the complete redivision of borders. In addition, the Walloons and Flemings will engage in a tough battle for the right to control the capital Brussels, where the most important institutions of the European Union are located, including the headquarters of the EU and the European Parliament.

Scots believe in the North Sea

There is no doubt that 15 October 2012 of the year was one of the most important dates in the modern history of Great Britain. On this day, United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron and First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond signed an agreement to hold a referendum on the independence of Scotland in 2014. The referendum will be held 18 September. “Do I believe that we will achieve independence? Yes I believe you. I think we will get it ... ”- said Alex Salmond after signing the fateful agreement.

In independent Scotland, it is proposed to leave the British pound sterling as the currency, and the head of the country - the Queen of Great Britain. At the same time, Scotland will also have its own armed forces. From the territory of Scotland is supposed to take out the British nuclear weapon.

In an attempt to convince the Scots to vote in a referendum for independence, the nationalists place the main emphasis on the fact that, after leaving the UK, Scotland will be able to independently dispose of the natural resources that it has to share with the center today. We are talking about oil and gas reserves, which are produced on the Scottish shelf in the North Sea.

Alex Salmond says: “Look at the other side of the North Sea. And you will see a country in which oil and gas occupy a much larger share in the economy than in Scotland. Despite the volatility of this type of economy, Norway is the only country in Europe that does not have a budget deficit. She has a future generation fund in excess of 300 billion pounds. ”

If the population votes for independence, it will be declared 24 March 2016. Until that time, Edinburgh and London will have to agree on the conditions for the division of Great Britain, formed in its current form after the signing of the Union Act between England and Scotland in 1707.

Independence for Scotland is fraught for Britain with its relegation to the role of a secondary state, which 6 directly warned the former NATO Secretary General George Robertson, by the way, a Scot by nationality, on January 12 in The Washington Post. Robertson is particularly worried about the fact that "the British nuclear base is located in Scotland, and now supporters of the exit insist on its transfer outside the country."

In any case, the process of balkanization of Europe and its fragmentation into smaller states will probably begin in the coming months.

              forecasts are useless, it all depends on what Mr. Draghi and Zhenya Yelen suck. In the current economy, tied to re-lending, it is quite possible to make a dollar at 1000 rubles or 10 cents per gallon of gasoline, but at the same time get half a kilo in poverty. And poverty itself can be taught patriotically, but the problem is with 400 million trunks.

                absolutely right! If you try to find the formula by which the dollar / ruble rate is calculated, then you will not find it, because the rate is not calculated, but assigned.

Europe is doing exactly the same thing now. And besides Ukraine, they go for distribution; Moldova, Syria, Africa ... the list is endless - some will settle down / fall apart, find others. The truth about how this policy ends - first in 1905, and later in 1917, the euro-scammers are trying not to remember, certainly not aloud. Straight Deja-wu for some; "Maybe it will carry" in "English" belay Gorby taught something - he seems to live in Germany, with other, hmm, "refugees".

He walks me on privilege (so that, apparently, he knew the line of the "party" soldier ) "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" and very interesting materials come across, and so, in the summer or spring (I can search exactly if necessary) there was an interesting article there. I don't remember the name either, but it was made based on materials from European publications, the point is that a very curious map is attached to it "from there", and we are talking about how Ukraine in the NEAREST 20-30 years will split into 3 independent parts: "Zapadentsiya", the pro-Russian east (possibly as part of the Russian Federation) and Ukraine itself (Kiev and adjacent regions). The latter is true, in light of what is happening now, is unlikely. And THIS long before the "Maidan" ...

      The contagion of separatism began to flourish violently in our country "thanks" to the non-intoxicated EBN: "Take as much sovereignty as you can swallow."
      It's good that now the heads are sober.

      Everything is correct. But I can't believe something. that they are all flaunting there. Europeans have always suppressed such tendencies extremely harshly, and will not hesitate now. Collapse is possible only in one case - with a very significant aggravation of the economic crisis, which will turn into a political crisis. The same applies to the American separatists - but these will surely cope with them ....... Although .... I did not believe that the Union had collapsed even after the Belovezhskaya betrayal. But they "helped" us to fall apart, and dozens of institutes worked for this. a host of international organizations, in which the Bloc of Captive Peoples played a leading role. created in 43 or 44 by the Nazis by the hands of Bandera. Monstrous means were poured into the collapse of the USSR. decades of titanic subversion. And the Europeans do not have this decisive factor. Okay, wait and see. Maybe, forced to deal with their own problems, they will at least stop climbing to us.

        The smaller the country, the less real sovereignty it has, the less likely it is to create a full-fledged army, a serious intelligence service, science, culture and generally resist trends from outside. The described is in full agreement with the antichrist’s anticipated arrival in the wake of chaos and in completely prepared ground for infrastructure for globalization and electronic control. The future belongs to supranational governments in the form of transnational corporations and everything is seized there according to plan, even for new billionaires gently laughingare forced to give up part of their fortunes and engage in "charity". Law 210 of the Russian Federation of 2010 on public services, which implies, over time, the transfer of these duties / services to effective private hands, I think in other countries the legislation is also being brought into line. In general, the offensive is being carried out on all fronts, including those that we are not aware of, and if we survived, I would say only by a miracle.

          Ivan.
          Hello, Ivan.
          I noticed, and, I confess, I was surprised - I did not know about it before .... they are somehow strange. :)))
          With the ephemeral nature of the sovereignty of small countries, everything is clear, it’s strange that the European separatists don’t know about it ... probably, like our parish people in the republics and the Elbon, I want to be the most important, even in a country with a flower bed, but the most, and that the population will be worse, spit from a high bell tower. :)))

          And as for the preparation of Russian legislation, I probably don’t agree ... We are consciously and sometimes simply stupidly adopting methods and technologies for solving problems. Sometimes it benefits us, sometimes it harms us.
          Attempts to create supranational governments have been and will always be. But at least I kill, I don’t believe that they will succeed - politicians are not able to agree in one country, but here ... although the jester knows them.
          As for armageddon ... I think we ourselves are completely capable of destroying ourselves, and no less efficiently than any Antichrist - look at what’s going on in the world .... It smells like a burner already.

    There could be no other continuation for the European Union project! No resources available. Today the EU is an unification of the poor and the half-poor. Germany alone will not feed everyone, and the rest, especially the "multiculturalists", came here to devour. But they have already eaten everything. And out of boredom, they began to introduce Islam everywhere by traditional means: fire and sword. But the sword will dominate more and more every day. Most likely, the Europeans will answer adequately: they will destroy the aggressive Muslims, and the non-aggressive will be sent somewhere to equatorial Africa, into the sands.
    Then the "Ukrainian dream" will come true and it will be accepted by the EU, but it will be accepted with only one task: to dismantle the rubble from the catastrophe and revive Germany (there will simply be no other states). Perhaps, at the same time, they will even be fed a little with something, some kind of GMO, as a result of which the Ukrainians will simply die quietly after completing the tasks of clearing the rubble. It looks like a variant of Malthusianism. But it won't work otherwise. For another, nobody needs them in Europe.

      Of course, the change in the national composition of the population and the flooding of countries by radicals is a serious problem for Europe and an even more serious danger.
      Previously, it was the other way around - the good Europeans did not give life to those countries where they had come to visit now ... and the Europeans prevented them from living harder than they did to the Europeans now ... and the Europeans did there such that no Muslim radicals could dream in their sweet dreams , they stopped the development of these peoples, actually kept them in slavery, destroyed millions ... so that it’s worth thinking about a boomerang ..

      But I'm not about to destroy all the aggressive ones, but to evict the rest? In the first case, these are millions, in the second, tens of millions. And mixed marriages? And the children from mixed marriages? Adopt Nuremberg Laws Again? Since then there would again be no Nuremberg tribunal ...
      It will not be possible to destroy millions of people without a system of death camps, for those expelled it is also necessary to build concentration and transit camps, a huge network, larger than the Nazi one.
      Can you imagine a situation in which Europe is again covered by a network of camps? I, no ... for now ... In addition, such an attitude towards fellow tribesmen, as well as unwillingness to become the next victim, will simply push ALL Muslims into the ranks of the radicals ... and then Europe is definitely a khan.
      By the way, a finger that is sick is treated, not chopped .... although, for the sake of fairness, it should be recognized that Europeans do not treat it - they let it go and the infection spreads ....

    You wanted freedom, porn on TV, legalized prostitution, etc. etc.?

    But the Pindra can happen literally in a couple of years - as soon as the people massively (I emphasize - massively !!!) strike against budget policy (people are just stupidly shut up with unemployment benefits).
