"Regional premier Carles Puigdemont announced on Friday morning that he is planning to call a independence referendum for Catalonia on that day, despite lacking consent from the Spanish government."
The Catalan parliment holds 135 seats, of these 72 are pro Independnce.
62 are for JxSi
10 are for CuP
JxSi (junts pel si) is a coalition between Convergència and Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya.
Convergència is a Center Right Party, mainly of progressive Christian Views.
Esquerra Republicana is a Left wing party, with mainly socialist views.
They decieded to do a coalition to do a strong political party to do a final push for the independence in 2015. However, the JxSi coalition in the parliament also has random important people from the Catalan Culture as are, LLuis Llach, Carme Forcadell, Germà Gordó, and others that are not politicians. 99% will vote independence.
CuP (Candidatura unitat Popular) is a fucking disgrace. They are the anarchists, the Marxists, the squatters that don’t shower. They are part of the government since they also want independence from Spain, and they decided that they would do a coalition with JxSI to have an Absolute majority in the parliament, after forcing the main leader of the indepencende movement, Artur Mas, to step down, because of his “views” and what he did during the crisis (cuts on social funding). 99% will vote independence.
The whole parliament seating:
Junts pel Sí (JxSí) 62 seats
Ciudadanos-Partido de la Ciudadanía (C's) 25 seats
Partido de los Socialistas de Cataluña (PSC) 16 seats
Catalunya Sí que es Pot (CatSíqueesPot) 11 seats
Partido Popular (PP) 11 seats
Candidatura de Unidad Popular (CUP) 10 seats
Ciudadanos (C’s from now on) is the bastard son of Partido Popular (PP). Both of these are very against the whole independence movement. PP was born after the death of Franco, it was basically his son, and holds right winged ideas. C’s is basically PP but with progressive views. It’s controlled opposition for sure for PP. 1% will vote independence.
Catalunya Si que es pot (CatSiqueesPot from now on), is a coalition between the “Podemos” of Spain, the green communists and the team of Ada Colau (the Mayor From Barcelona). In this group there are all the people that don’t see themselves as conservatives but don’t see themselves as part of the system either and believe in “social ideals”. The Mayor of Barcelona, the shittiest mayor in all the world, Ada Colau, a total degenerate woman, would fall in this category. She is so shitty, that she doesn’t have majority in Barcelona, but all the other groups do not want to do business with her. They are just waiting for her downfall. Back to topic – CatSiqueesPot are not defined, they are neither pro independence nor against it. However, most of their voters in Spain (podemos) are not in favour, so in the long run, they will give more signals against it. However, thise means that around 25-30% of their voters will vote for independence.
What is in it for Catalonia? Basically, they will emancipate from the Kingdom of Spain, and the Masonic Spanish political system. They are mostly Catholic Masons.
Economically, if Catalonia became independent, this would imply giving up economies of scale arising from the union with Spain. However, these costs remain limited, in his opinion. The fixed costs of running a Catalan state have been generously estimated to be €2.793m which represents 1.4% of Catalan GDP, or €383 per Catalan citizen. Additionally, markets and defense have already been outsourced to the EU and NATO, suggesting that Catalonia would not lose out if it gave up the union with Spain (provided that it remained a member of EU and NATO, which nowadays.. isint neceserally good.). A major benefit for the Catalan economy would be the termination of fiscal transfers to the rest of Spain. Currently, taxes paid to the central government exceed public spending in Catalonia by €16.409m (8.4% of GDP). Moreover, current public capital in the region is the lowest throughout Spain. Public investment in Catalonia accounted for merely 8% of Spanish public spending, even though Catalonia contributes 20% to the Spanish GDP.
The bad thing is that Catalonia is mainly Barcelona in terms of politics, which right now means degeneracy. If they don't turn to the right with the Independnece, the Catalan politicians might start turning into other colors non white.
