Spain has decided that it has had just about enough of the Catalans wanting to split. In response Spain has decided to take away the regions autonomy:
Spain is to start suspending Catalonia’s autonomy from Saturday, as the region’s leader threatens to declare independence.
The government said ministers would meet to activate Article 155 of the constitution, allowing it to take over running of the region.
Catalonia’s leader said the region’s parliament would vote on independence if Spain continued “repression”.
I’m sure this will convince the Catalans to stop striving for secession. After all, people who are actively trying to secede tend to respond really well when more of their rights are taken away from them.
It just happened, thankfully Rajoy stated “the Catalan parliament keeps the self ruling” and previous to that “the administration will we transferred to the ministeries”. The problem with that is that some thick people will think that we still have ownership. And indeed we will not stop mobilising
