But this is not the case of many Catalans, who during the dictatorship of Franco were prohibited the teaching of our language. We could not even write our name in Catalan, which was changed into Spanish, nor write a simple headstone in our language to honor our dead. During the badly called political transition the Catalan government reintroduced teaching in Catalan in schools. This provoked almost from the outset the rejection of Spain, which has always manifested an unhealthy animosity towards our language and continues nowadays. Many Spaniards (fortunately not all, who are also good people in Spain) call us pejoratively "polacos" (Poles) simply because we speak Catalan. But we know how to laugh at ourselves: we have a humor program on the Catalonian television called "Polònia" (Poland). This small example can give you an idea of what political thinking has historically been Spain towards Catalonia. Last edited by Nikita; 10-02-17 at 01:38 PM. |

These internatiuonal bakj, money and busienss netwporks and inmteractions are a kraken's labyrinth, and it seems to me the whole idea of it is to plunder the others while grinning in their faces. The whole concept of globalization at least does as much bad and evil as it does some good for some. To me there seem to be far more loosers than winners. But the few winners make enormous gains and accumulate enormous wealth in fewer and fewer hands. Thanks to globalization. Of course, government propaganda tells us exactly the opposite, no matter the names and parties in govenrment.

??? And maybe not reaching as far back as to Franco. If I would always reach back as far as to Hitler, then I would be unable to see that Jews again do live in Germany and that Germany today is not the Third Reich of the past. I mean I expect the present Spain to be a little bit different than that Spain of Franco's reign, or not? Did four and half decades make no difference? I actually have quite a positive image of Spain today. But then, I was never there (not counting a hunting railtrip from France to the street of Gibraltar over 25 years ago to take a ferry to Marocco, it was all an incredible non-stop hurry and I did not really leave the train....). My father's orchestra once was guest at some Barcelona festival in the late 80s, he was plenty much mightily impressed by city, people, friendly manners and the order everywhere.

It is a pity that a country like Spain that has had great names in the arts has historically suffered from mediocre and corrupt politicians

Ha, ha...! Not me. Neal changed the title to reflect better the subject. Later I asked Neal to modify the new title and he supported my petition. This remind me I forgot to thank you, Neal!

For those of you who understand Spanish, the statements of Hristo Stoichkov, former star player of FC Barcelona and Bulgaria Team, in Univision (Mexico), on the vice president of the Spanish Government. http://www.univision.com/deportes/fu...de-mundo-video

Video you have just seen was yesterday at Liceu. Workers and Choir singing the Va, pensiero of the Nabucco of Verdi. It is the heart of the Hebrew slaves and it became a hymn of Italian patriotism fighting for independence.

And now, a bit of humor. The solution for Catalonia in just 5 days ... On October 1 we voted ... October 2 declares independence ... On day 3 we declare war on Andorra ... On October 4th, we surrender and therefore we have lost the war ... and we are annexed to Andorra ... On October 5th, Catalonia is a fiscal paradise and Andorra has a beach ... From here nothing can go wrong ... sugar, whiskey and tobacco at a good price ...
