[YoMaMa31911]

@paunba7 CATALONIA is a part of SPAIN and always will so get rid of the idea of independence because it will only fuck CATALONIA more than the bullshit it already is and yes ive gone to catalonia and im not spanish although my heritage is spanish..... CATALONIA will always be a part of SPAIN you STUPID FUCK

[odiossea]

@YoMaMa31911 The classic Spanish nationalism ))) Passional, domineering, still trying to impose their view by insulting. Quite comical.

It's a pity insults are not allowed in this forum, Spanish fellow.

[paunba7]

@YoMaMa31911 Always? The independence is possible, for people like you, spanish facist who hates the catalan and catalonia, now more than a 30% of catalonia is independentist! thanks for your ignorance!  VISCA CATALUNYA!!

[dazzlefun]

@YoMaMa31911 Catalonia is not part of spain, is under spanish rule due to the spanish army trheatening them. spain = crisis = third world. Time for catalonia to rise up

[EtaryanSC]

Spanish hate catalan people, many kills of catalan patriots like Guillem Agulló or Josep Maria Isanta.

Help Catalonia, spanish is a fascist state who hide the killers and don't punish them.

[TheVigataquantic]

Insults, scorn, treating arrogance this is the brutal way that Spain treat all that they consider their properties. Last 300 years they try by all the means to make us, Catalans, disappear. No region in Europe has to experience the drainage of our economic resources as Catalonia is suffering, the aggression against the language, the hate we suffer from Spain. An old European nation is going sadly to disappear.

[geraard93]

From a catalan, this sentence is just disgusting. Sorry, but this does not hold Spain stale in any way. Every day is closer to independence and you can keep insulting me and without the slightest thought. Goodbye Spanish, we will be good neighbors! , See you in Brussels.

[minsk0380]

and by the way you defende independence because the region of catalonia pays to the Country money? Using your rule of thumb, Barcelona should be independent from Castelldefels, because money flows in that direction too. I am sorry Madrid is the capital of the Kingdom. People in Spain always loved to complay, but things will not change cause a 2% of the population supports the idea of independence. It simply wont. You wont see it in your life time, so you can keep on loosing time with the idea

[odiossea]

Thanks for your permission. We'll go on "loosing our time", as you call it, or defending our interests, our welfare and our money, as we call it.

[megaarni2003]

@minsk0380 The nation is Catalunya, not Barcelona

[elmillor11abel]

@minsk0380 2 per cent??? The 65 per cent of the population of Catalonia wants the independence. They can`t decide?

[minsk0380]

you wrote down there: "The impact of democracy between Catalonia and Sapin" OMG I have no words... why those things only happen in Spain... look at this video, is pretty awesome :D

[minsk0380]

and so whats wrong with that? I still do not see the point, and you did not cited any source, I guess you could as well wrrite 12 zeros....

[2010freecat]

THIS IS ANOTHER WAY TO PROJECT CATALONIA (the next state in Europe) ALL OVER THE WORLD THE INJUSTICES AND THE PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE OCCUPATION AND OPRESSION REALISED BY SPAIN(the country that doesn't respect human rights and torture animals in the bullfights) REMEMBER, CATALONIA IS NOT SPAIN. INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM FOR THE CATALAN NATION. //*//

[catalunyaisnotspain]

No  statute, independence for catalonia!

[Goatssoup]

INDEPENDENCE FOR CATALONIA!!! //*//

[MyBoobsOk]

why is he saying that Spain doesn't want catalonians? That's not true. It's a false thing, Catalonia is not being hated by the rest of Spain, it is a false idea feeded by some politicians. As I'm saying, Spain doesn't hate Catalonia.

In addition, that thing that that boy says, "they only want our money". Don't make me laugh. Catalonia gives money to the rest, but it is not the only one. There are other communities which are richer than others, and they give money to the rest too.

[odiossea]

@MyBoobsOk It would be great if nobody hated nobody. But unfortunately what you say is not true at all. Of course I don't think every spaniard hate our culture and language, but hearing many politicians (Alfonso Guerra, Mariano Rajoy, Rosa Díez...) and especially journalists (Jiménez Losantos, Dávila, Curri Valenzuela...), systematicly lying and calling us "nazis" or "terrorist", despising our language and so on, one conclude anti-catalanism is common and promoted in Spain.

[odiossea]

@odiossea By the way, now in summer it's quite probable many people who read this will visit Spain in holidays. Just ask them Spaniards what they think about Catalans. And then (if possible, of course))) go to Catalunya and check if they are right or not.

[wmmvb]

@MyBoobsOk I am independentist but I agree with you. I do not hate Spaniards and I know many Spaniards that don't hate me.People must respect one each other above all.But the truth is that Spain does not believe in pluriculturality: Spain has adopted castillian as the official language, and the other languages as less important ones: it is a shame. But even worse is the fact that in Germany there are more education centers where catalan is taught than Spain itself!! (excluding Catalonia)

[wmmvb]

@MyBoobsOk If catalan, galician, basque or aragonese were also "loved" by Spain, they would be treated equally than castillian. And finally,regarding to money, Catalonia represents the 25% of spanish GDP, and we are fed up to pay 10 € for just travelling through 60 Km of motorway, whereas I can travel around Spain in good and wide motorways without paying any toll.

[mailhoax]

@MyBoobsOk Its not only about hate, bcz there is lots of people that they have relatives, and origins in Spain, but they want the independence. The impact of democracy between Catalonia and Sapin is caused by many things like the economy (we want to be able to decide our "solidarity"), the society (with the catalan culture and the rights aproved from catalan politic parties), the history (Spain never recognized the murders from the judgements from fascist and dictatorship)..etc

[mailhoax]

@MyBoobsOk Catalonia is paying 20000000000 Euros to Spain every year and you are still saying that we want your money. We want our money bcz is our salary, our effort and Spain never return our favors and is destroying our economy, so its time to change it, and we will change it by democratic ways. Madrid is centralizing everything and robbing the international relations and transport from Catalonia and the effects would be really harmful for us. Like lots of catalans, Im not richer than others.

[minsk0380]

twenty thousand million euro?! hahahahahahahah yeah, sure, every day, why not!

[minsk0380]

twenty thousand million euro?! hahahahahahahah yeah, sure, every day, why not! or you just kept the zero button pressed long so that it seemed more money?

[mailhoax]

@minsk0380 The number is right and that 22 is in front of 9 zero's, divided by 365 days = more than 60000000€/day of tax that it goes to Spain and it will never come back to Catalonia.

[youyouwe]

@minsk0380 it's true

[mailhoax]

@MyBoobsOk Gov from spain doesn't like catalans because they denied the rights that were aproved and voted by the people. Spain want our money and just enough power to control our rights. We want the independence to be able to control our culture, to control our "solidarity" attending to the tax robbery commited by Spain.

Spain is just subsiding other communities with out control or any pact, so I think that its outrageous for some places to recieve not deserved money for his efforts.

[wmmvb]

Please, Europe! Listen to us! We try to shout louldly but Spain puts its hands over our mouths!

[leafar004]

@wmmvb Please Europe, do not be fooled, according to an official agency had only 56 000 demonstrators. Nothing more.

[wmmvb]

@leafar004 That's matematically impossible: that would mean that people were really fat in that demonstration. On the other hand, the Police is also an official source, and it reported 1.1 million people.

[odiossea]

@leafar004 What do you mean by "official agency"?

[wmmvb]

@leafar004 The agency that counted 56000 people has admitted that the count was performed at 20:30, just when people were going home!!
