The regional Parliament of Catalonia approved the disconnection laws

USPA NEWS - The regional Parliament of Catalonia, northeast Spain, on Wednesday approved only with the votes of the parties in the regional government, the disconnection laws, rules that will serve as a basis for the unilateral declaration of independence of this Spanish region if, on October 1, the yes to secession win the referendum convened by the Catalan government.

The Government of Spain met as a matter of urgency, as soon as the approval of the secessionist laws was confirmed. The purpose of this extraordinary Council of Ministers was to bring an action before the Court against the norms approved by the regional Parliament of Catalonia. The Constitutional Court, which returned home Tuesday, will immediately suspend the independence laws. At the same time, the Spanish Government will adopt punitive measures against the promoters of the approved laws. The suspension of his charges is one of the options that shuffles the Spanish Government.

But the confrontation between the Government of Spain and the Catalan authorities threatens to worsen. The government of Catalonia is determined to declare the independence of its territory, even if it has to violate the basic rules of democracy. And he has begun to rape them. It did so by calling a referendum which, despite some support received from some prominent international figures, is manifestly illegal. The Catalan government affirms that, if the "yes" to the secession wins, even if only by one vote, it will declare independence. To ensure the highest number of votes favorable to secession, in the referendum of October 1, it will be allowed to vote for those over 16 years old, age in Spain can not vote, and illegal immigrants. And they assert that they will not accept a result other than the "yes".

In addition, the president of the regional government of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, recently stressed that he will not accept his disqualification and will not recognize the judges, if the Spanish Government suspends him or processes him. And the president of the regional Parliament, Carme Forcadell, proposed this Wednesday the recusal of the magistrates of the Constitutional Court by its evident Spanishism.

The reasons for secession

Why Catalonia wants to separate from Spain? Recent sociological studies determine that Catalan pro-independence are upper class, a sector of the population traditionally linked to the conservative options and contrary to changes that may affect their status. What explains his support for the independence of Catalonia? According to several experts consulted these days by the Spanish media points to the existing corruption in Catalonia as a cause of independence. In this line some announcements of the Catalan government, such as the immediate amnesty of all the accused and condemned by the collection of illegal commissions, laundering of money and fugue of currencies point out. Among those convicted are three members of the former Catalan government, including its president, Artur Mas, who was summoned Wednesday by the Court of Auditors to pay five million euros bail for not going to prison.
