There are clear differences between Scotland and Catalonia, but that does not prevent the independence referendum agreed by David Cameron and Alex Salmond has a clear impact on Spanish politics. Mariano Rajoy knows and so devoted all his efforts during the first session of government control after the massive demonstration Proconsulta of National Day in Barcelona, to dismantle the idea of normalcy around secessionist processes. The Prime Minister said yesterday that no one in Europe is such situations with “enthusiasm”. He even warned that there is no willingness to facilitate accession to the EU who now chooses to secede from a Member State.
A day after Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia Margallo, sow confusion even among his own rule by not expressly suspension of Catalan autonomy if they choose to disobey Artur Mas any decision to convene a Constitutional and consultation, Rajoy returned to strategy cautiously and pragmatic Rebuttals to try to quell the cravings sovereigntist. It is not the first time that appeals to the economic consequences of independence, but this time it was with special impetus.
The Chief Executive spoke not only in name but in that of most of the 28 Heads of State and Government of the EU who said he spoke. He said that everyone sees with concern the institutional climate of instability that can lead to various secessionist processes and the perverse effects that undoubtedly have on the economy of the community partners. Indeed, as he spoke of his undeniable impact on the euro and on the public debt. ‘Produce’ came to afirmar- recession and poverty for all. ”
That was his argument to take for good the EU does not welcome you with open to new States arising arms. He said that in Europe, in general, it is understood that the independence processes are “a torpedo in the water line” of your project. “Because Europe was born to integrate said. What we need are strong bonds. ”
The Most
His warnings came straight from a question of PNV spokesman, Aitor Esteban, who not only urged him to clarify whether Spain would facilitate the entry of Scotland in the EU if yes in the referendum expires today, but asked her to be “Democratic” and follow the example of Cameron arguing that the current Spanish legislation allows consultation “without legal effect” as the that the Government intends to convene. An approach that disagree the Government and the main opposition party.
Rajoy useful to remember that Scotland “has almost no powers beside the Basque Country, Catalonia and other regions.” But in any case, welcomed the question initially posed by Esteban because she was the implicit assumption that a region becomes independent of a Member State of the EU would automatically become a third country outside the EU acquis, ie that if he wanted to join the Union would have to apply for membership and wait, perhaps years, before being admitted. It took eight years to enter Spain.
warnings and threats
The Basque nationalist lamented that the EU is dipuesta to expel citizens as “part” of it while working to integrate countries that “have bled in bloody wars,” as is the case of Serbia, who last January began negotiations for membership within six years. And it was not the only one who brought up the question of Catalonia on the eve of the Scottish appointment. Also deputy CiU Pere Macias asked Vice President, Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría, on the response that aims to the Government to the manifestation of the Dyad, and spokesman Amaiur, Mikel Errekondo, faced with Garcia Margallo, who accused throwing “threats” against the Catalan people and against Basque.
Margallo, who came to refine the words had created such a stir yesterday -aseguró in the halls of Congress that the government apply the law “with proportionality and prudence” – soliviantado reacted to the parliamentarian formation which hosts the heirs of Batasuna. “To say that the law will not threat, but warning,” he said.
The minister elaborated on the idea Rajoy of the dangers of separatism for the EU. He even argued that secession of Scotland would be a “catastrophe” and “end up in a process of balkanization that nobody wants in the EU”. Less catastrophic, Saenz de Santamaria called “work together and join forces.”
