I’m always
watching the bulls behind the barrier and I have to say that the Scottish
process is democratic, it’s admirable, it is exemplary and it’s inspirational.
I have to say that the Scottish Government are handling the situation really
well despite the austerity policies imposed by Westminster. They have shown a plan to everyone that will
be a great start for an Independent Scotland in the case of a Yes vote. They
are leading the way, with a fantastic project: The White Paper is a start, but
is a very good start. The cards are on the table...
I always
follow the Scottish news and First Minister’s Questions. I’m following with
special attention every wee step on this road to the referendum, with even more
interest since I noticed the affinity between Partido Popular and Better
Together.
That is the
reason why on 28th of November I was shocked and outraged listening
to Labour-Tory-LibDem trying to cause trouble for Alex Salmond with the dirty
game that I call “International Better Together”.
How can a
Spanish politician be so irresponsible as to put in danger their own interests
and give us even more problems that we have right now? Well, as our politicians
are so mediocre, corrupt, and badly prepared, anything is possible with them.
But listening
First Minister’s Questions on 12th of December, I wondered if any of
the “Project Fear” MSPs have read the White Paper. I wondered if the “historical
memory” concept exist in Scotland, I wondered if Ruth Davison believes her owns
lies on the EU and if she believes that Better Together has a real plan B.
Because, watching the bulls behind the barrier, I haven’t heard about any red-white
or black and blue paper from them, and I would like to have something to read
from better together apart from the supposition of keeping the cuts and
austerity policies from Westminster.
Going further
afield of Holyrood and checking the hastag #fmqs in twitter you could find few of tweets
from Better Together supporters, making fun of Alex Salmond and his defense of
the EU matters when he was answering Ruth Davison and he emphasized how rich
the Scottish Waters are, and emphasized the importance of the fishing
licenses. Who would veto Scotland from
being part of the EU?
Labour-Tory-LibDem-
Better Together were talking about Spain
and Rajoy like he was the only person
living in this country and they forgot, that there are millions of Spanish
people living on this peninsula. They clearly forgot or don’t know about the
quality of our representatives and the irresponsibility of Rajoy and Co., their
corruption scandals, the habit of saying one thing first and another thing later,
they forgot or don’t know that there are
millions of Spanish people suffering their austerity policies, their cuts on
public services and also in human rights.
And by the
way, I wonder if the Labour Party remember those who were fighting for freedom
and human rights in the Spanish Civil War, I mean those who were killed in
Spain, the International Brigade? Do you know that there are still thousands of
International Brigade volunteers buried in ditches in Spain…? Partido Popular abolished
the Historical Memory law, and right now we are going back to the past… that is
not a joke… that is very serious. It is not a coincidence that Strasbourg Court
is now more known in Spain than ever.
Apparently
for some Better Together supporters it’s very funny that Scotland has fish
because they also forgot or don’t know, how many fishing licenses would depend
on the Scottish Government in the unlikely case that the stupid PP would veto
Scotland’s entrance in EU?
Apparently Better Together forgot or doesn’t
know how important that issue is for Galiza (my Nation, by the way, Mr. Rajoy),
or for Spain, if you prefer… because you are Better Together.
And the
result was that which for some is a reason for making fun… for me and for thousands
of other Galician people would be a huge tragedy to lose these fishing licenses.
It is not a joke, it would be catastrophic for our already damaged economy.
Because,
just in case you don´t know, Galician Devolution is weaker every day, and our
farmers and our fishermen are in very poor condition thanks to Madrid’s
austerity and centralists policies.
Because,
just in case you don’t know, the importance of fishing license for Galiza in the Atlantic and North Sea is huge, the importance of Galician Erasmus students in Scotland
is huge, the importance of paying 3 times the taxes if Scotland gets
independence and is not member of EU is huge. Oh, and by the way, aye, Scotland
has fish… do you know how much fish Scotland exports to Spain? We are not talking
about making fun of Big Eck, we are talking about the lives of thousands
of families here in Galiza, there in Alba. We are talking about thousands of tons of
fishing quotes just for hake, cod, langostines (aye, independent langostines... http://pilaraymara.blogspot.com.es/2013/11/rajoy-e-os-langostinos-independentistas.html).
I’ll tell you just how much in another post.
Do you
really think that Spain would veto Scottish membership of Europe…? Really?
There is not a single reason for that. Not a single one.
So, I’m not
surprised that Alex Salmond was angry, answering the opposition, because he
has all the information, he cares about his country and he knows very well what
kind of international and diplomatic problems Scotland would have as the result
of treason by Westminster. Everyone with common sense can realize how powerful an
Independent Scotland can be. The Scottish Government knows very well what kind
of diplomatic international relationship Scotland would be able to offer,
because they make all the information you need (we need) available.
For some Better
Togethers it is much easier to make jokes about Alex Salmond and the fish,
because they don’t have any information, and that’s why they give us misinformation
and fear instead.
