The shit in Spain falls mainly in the fan

Makes an UDI but then suspends it. 

Minsky was right. This is farce. Pity that I don't find it funny.

So it was a "we're separating... sometime.. eventually" speech?

[Crazy_Ivan80]

They are going for it. UDI. Just from the start of his speech, I can feel it.

He is purposefully making not any mention of Spain at all.

If Madrid doesn't want to negotiate (and they haven't wanted to negotiate for years now, apparently) then what else is left?
You cannot ignore a call for change by millions without consequences.
Spain must be brought to the table talk. Show a bit of statesmanship instead of trying to channel Franco.

Yeah. He says he accepts the mandate to declare independence but then asks Parliament to suspend it while he seeks mediation.

He's still talking, but I don't think there's going to be any major twist.

[The Brain]

Meh. Shit or get off the pot.

all of this could have been avoided if the government in Madrid weren't hell bent on not talking for years.
Frankly, maybe they should take an example in Belgium for once.

HOTT.

Unfortunately, we have lost the translation. But I gather she is shitting on Puidgemont. Leader of the Opposition?

Resolved, That Catalonia should be at some point in the future, and of right might be at some point, a free and independent State, that it might be in the future absolved from all allegiance to the Spanish Crown, and that all political connection between her and the State of Spain might be, and maybe at some point probably should be, totally dissolved.

Yeah she is the leader of the unionist liberal party, she featured heavily in our Catalonia election thread.

I can smell the poo from here. CiU was a Christian-Democrat business-friendly party for the past 40 years. And he's managed to have every single company in the Ibex 35 stock index leave the region in less than a week.

[Drakken]

We have lost the feed. In fact, all feeds from the Catalonian Parliament.

She features heavily in my dreams.

Mine to

I can give you that. Even without translation, from how much passion she was showing crapping all over Puidgemont in her speech, she seems to be a feisty gal.
