THE WINGS OF THE SCOTTISH BUTTERFLY IN SPANISH MEDIA
There is nothing like reading
the right wing Spanish press to know how terribly nervous they are when faced
with the Scottish referendum.
Since knowing the results of
the survey commissioned by the SNP, these days we can see a battery of news
from the right wing media (ABC, La Razón ,El Imparcial …) decrying this survey
and reporting the harm that would come to Scotland from achieving independence.
They keep on and will continue following, as usual, two ways of confusion and
manipulation.
Firstly: to run their regular
campaign of fear, they copy the slogans of "Better Together". They
try to confuse by saying that a NO vote can ensure more devolution powers, when
everybody knows that in their model of globalized Europe, countries have fewer
and fewer responsibilities and powers.
They lie and try to intimidate
and the more we approach the moment, it will get worse because soon we will see
more campaigns against the leaders of the“Yes for Independence”... the old
school never changes.
Secondly: They try to mix (and
the more, the better) the possible referendum in Catalonia with the Scottish
one to destroy the idea that any country could get independence in this model
that they want in the globalized world.
Catalonia, like every country
in the world, should have the right to decide whether or not they want
independence. It's civil society that will inevitably make these changes and
I'm sure they are not going to backtrack.
But I think CIU will finally
yield to pressures from Madrid and seek a way to delay the consultation, with
the resulting effect that in the next election, there will be great success for
ERC and they will have in their hands, but with approval, the ability to carry
out a more appropriate social project than the center-right Catalan is trying
for now.
Beware therefore of falling
into the blunder of wanting to mix these two projects up because each of them,
even though they share their enemies, have their own characteristics and should
be observed separately.
Non hai nada como ler á prensa da dereita española para saber o
terriblemente nerviosos que están de cara ao Referendo de Escocia.
Logo de coñecerse os resultados da enquisa encargada polo SNP, vemos nestes
días unha batería de noticias dos medios de dereita (ABC, La Razón, El Imparcial...) censurando dita enquisa e informando do mal que lle iría a
Escocia de acadar a independencia. Seguen e seguiran con dúas vías de confusión
e manipulación.
Por unha banda, a de facer a súa campaña habitual de medo, ao calor dos
slogans do "Better Together". De confundir mentindo dicindo que o
voto ao NON asegura mais competencias autonómicas, cando tod@s
sabemos que no seu modelo globalizado de Europa, os países terán cada vez menos
competencias e poderes. Menten e tendan amedrentar e canto mais se achegue o
momento, pior vai ser, porque pronto veremos mais campañas en contra dos
líderes do SI á independencia... a vella escola nunca cambia.
Por outra banda, a de tratar de mesturar canto mais mellor o referendo de
Cataluña co de Escocia para destruír a idea de que ningún país vai ser independente
neste modelo que queren de mundo globalizado.
O pobo catalán, ao igual que calquera pobo, ten dereito a decidir se quere
ou non á independencia. É a sociedade civil a que inevitablemente vai marcar estes cambios que
estou segura non teñen marcha atrás.
Penso que CIU finalmente cederá a presións de Madrid e que buscarán a forma
de demorar a consulta, co conseguinte efecto de que nas vindeiras eleccións,
vai ser ERC quen gañe adeptos e teña nas súas mans, con mais folgura, a
posibilidade de levar a cabo todo un proxecto social mais adecuado ao que o centrodereita
catalán pretende agora mesmo.
Coidado polo tanto con caer na torpeza de querer mesturar estes dous
proxectos xa que cada un deles, aínda que compartan inimigos, teñen as súas
características e deben ser observados por separado.
