Also, the Conselh Generau dera Val d'Aran, the local government of a Pyrenean valley of Occitan language, semi-autonomous from the Generalitat de Catalunya (Catalonia's autonomous government), warned last year that if Catalonia seceded from the rest of Spain, they might as well decide to secede from Catalonia.


Today I read on a paper here that The New York Times had criticised the Spanish Army chiefs who warned the central Spanish Government that the Army might take into the issue if the new estatut went ahead.. "the rumour of the sabres" as is known here. Those yankee retards called them paleolithic generals or something like that. What they will never understand is that those men spoke out knowing that the personal consequences for themselves would be of importance, out of honour (not something that one can expect the Americans or the Socialists to understand), and in compliance with their duty to defend the Nation from any danger.
