Looks better from outside the "left" of More – Digital Economy

César Molinas is by no means a Catalan nationalist . I did not even seem to be Catalan, according to the reflections made in an article published in The Country in January this year: Does not want to hear about Catalonia, which raised substantive issues pointless to argue the claim of independence.

But that server not sharing the views of Molinas, Catalan mathematician and economist, former senior PSOE in Madrid and son Alfredo Molinas, president of Development between 1978 and 1994, does not mean it does not take into consideration their views

This week, Cesar Molinas left written on his Twitter account a series of observations on the latest move by President Artur Mas that have their enjundia who are coming from. The first: “But it was clever. Rajoy is facing a terrible dilemma tolerate pseudo-query or abort it by force. Both are bad “.

The second: “But pointing to international opinion, which sees no difference with Scotland. The NYT, the WSJ, The Economist, LA Times, the FT policy … ask. ” Third: “If Rajoy tolerate pseudo-consultation and criticizes the lack of guarantees, will answer that does not have them banned because yes had them.” Molinas is synthetic but clearly.

Why are bad these two options? Well, first, because New 9N be held following some articles of Law Query the Spanish government has not disputed . It may seem that the Government of Catalonia improvise, but it is not. Their actions will respond to Mas to comply he said he would: consult citizens without doing illegally.

The new proposal replaces the query under Decree 129/2014 President Mariano Rajoy puts before the “terrible dilemma” pointing Molinas. All options are bad . If forbids what is now a participatory process, convened under the rules in force, arguing lack of collateral, you will be told that the fault is yours because it prohibited the consultation itself had them and international opinion will return to the charge against him. If allowed, because it has no legal means to prohibit the Spanish nationalist cavern will miss him over.

The New York Times defended in an editorial on Monday October 13 to the conflict between Catalonia and Spain requires a “political solution” . The newspaper gave as an example the recent referendum in Scotland and which was previously held in Quebec, holding that “when you allow people to have a debate open and democratically vote on self-determination, you may choose to stay in the larger system of government. “

The American newspaper was clearly unionist and therefore considered the” hard line nationalism Spain Catalan “shows the opposite of what happened in the UK:” If the nationalist ambitions are thwarted, eventually become stronger and more passionate , being potentially more dangerous “Molinas may again be right. when another tweet said as Rajoy speaks no language, do not understand what you say outside, in English or Catalan anyway, but it translated.

New 9N I think a great solution so it has symbolic uses and also because the social basis for demonstrating sovereignty with another massive mobilization that this conflict is not over. If the elites do not know how to resolve the conflict, the people will force to do so. It is sung to the militant unionists will not go to vote 9N. Nor had gone to vote in an illegal referendum. Theirs is to delegitimize any option. The democratic solution, hence political, is coming.

Under the proposal Mas, who all incidentally has provoked the anger of ERC and ICV-EUiA more partisan reasons patriotic is that disturbs the Government of Mariano Rajoy. His dilemma, ban or tolerate new 9N, is very complicated.

Rajoy, and the PSOE, de facto accomplice of his immobility, it would much easier if you lend attention to the final recommendation of the American newspaper: there is space for a political solution is accepted if it is to political conflict and “ something as complex and emotional as national identity can not be reduced to a purely legal question “. Since you have it out clearer.

President Artur Mas has surprised everyone with a “left” of those that no one expects and only used when the opponent player is far behind the strap of the back of the court. Not a beat that can be used many times, since the aim is to surprise the opponent, but of time has helped him to win the set and avoid the impatience of those who want to set the pace of the process knowing that they can cause a disaster.
