Spain is a country with 10 milion potential genocidal people, who vote for PP a almost nazistic party

Freedom for Catalonia, Spain is pain

[Layonard]

Do NOT think that all the people that did not vote were against the independence of Catalonia.. a lot of them.. simply.. they did not care whether yes or not xD

Anyway if you are sure about that, talk to the "Gobierno Español" and ask them to let us do a binding nacional referendum =D

Silly because they don't have any "Moorish kinfolk" to begin with, just their other fellow Celt-Iberians, retarded and resentful Brazilian multi-account troll pretending to be a "redneck" from the United States

It is silly to try and separate from your Moorish kinfolk ..

What the fuck! 9 out of 10 voted for independence *of those who participated*!

That referendum is still going on, almost village by village, and the participation is around 20%.

[xander7ful]

So what if only 30% showed up to vote? 40% or fewer Americans show up to vote in the national mid-term elections here in the USA. But they still count it as a legitimate election! Viva Catalonia.

@TheSpaniard87 es la gente de Catalunya la que tiene que decidir sobre su propio futuro... no los otros. Y una participación del 25-30% - teniendo en cuenta que las consultas fueron organizades por voluntarios y sin ninguna ayuda por parte de las instituciones - es una puta barbaridad

Catalònia, from Alacant to Perpinyà, from la Franja to l'Alguer, is one of the oldest and coolest nations of Europe... erstwhile an imperious culture, still bouyant, soon independent again... a NATION... no "region... NATION... ok?

asspain has never existed per se... it's a bloody put-on invented by the fascists of Hitler and company... "asspainish" is not a language... it's Andalusian, a mixture of romanic and moor...

on the other hand, Catalan is a noble tongue spoken in many Europe states.

Im just trying to explain that the media are manipulating people here and trying to force it to be catalan and independent since childhood.

[chete20]

Now we can see how the tv are making think people that they are best than the rest of Spain, they are superior than the rest...smartest, richest, etc...We are in front a new nazism camuflated by an alleged opresion from the spanish goverment. I have to say that in catalonia there was a lot of kingdooms after the creation of Spain, and this territory CATALONIA is one of the mothers of that country, but since 1850 aprox. some people are talking shit about it.

[chete20]

Catalan TV and Newspaper are making a new fascism campain against Spain. Some school teachers are explaining invented history about the Catalan territoy, trying to say that Catalan people are not spanish because of a Kingdoom that never exists...the way they says.
