I know that the most of you, the readers about my block, don't know that I am catalan, and what's that? A catalan is a civilian the lives in Catalonia, this "country" if we can say country or nation, is a part of Spain, this region had an important paper in the history of that cluster of plurinations that actually is called Spain.
And why I speack about my country, just a simple region about Europe. The Union of civil rights, the old continent by some others, but for me it is my home, the place where there are my family, my friends... All that I have is here. I am not a person that lives near big cities like Barcelona or Girona, but I am aware that it doesn't mean a lot.
As I say at the begining, Spain is a mix of old and ancient kingdoms that in these times have diferent political and economic objectives, but the time, and the interests of the members of the nobility, had changed it and we can't do nothing. After that unions of the important people of the conuntry to protect their interests, Catalonia became a zone of Spain, that the majority of the population had diferent traditions, some others had another language (Catalan) than the spaniards, and a diferent view of the political actions that in a future will change the style of life of a simple young boy about this one.
Catalonia's situation
Since a lot of centuris ago, the catalans (peasants or normal people that anywhere were the main gear to all empires) about this Spanish Kingdom must resist the abuse of the armed forces that suppres the movements of evolution of this society, like the events of the Segador's War where the spanish military were moved in Catalonia to fight vs the French army, burnning the cereal harvest of the native farmers, using their homes, stealing their resources and thier provisions.
Another one, very properly in time the Segador's uprising, this events were due to these abuses, with the catalans armed with the field tools had challenged the nobility and the Viceroy of Catalonia (Spanish administrator)...
Now, the proble rises
Despite all that revolutions with the main goal to win for the catalans the right to decide their future like a part of the Spanish Kingdom weren't enough. Until in the last 10 years a new social movement of the catalans rised like the choice of become a great and a free country proving him in many demonstrations to defend the civil rights that were in the Spanish Constitution. The Constituton provid the power to the Spanish Camber to make a simple and easy question to the population or a referendum.
During 10 years of negotiation of the Spanish government and geting only one answer, the negativity and the censoring to speack about the right of democracy that a region can decide his future. After that in 2017, Mr.President Carles Puigdemont in head of the Catalan Parliement bring up a pack of laws and reforms that serve the right of decide to the hands of the population, announcing a referendum where the population had to organized by himself, disobeing the sentence of the Constitutional Tribunal, that excuse 5000 agents of the national state security to unship in Barcelona and start clausuring voting centers. Becouse the Spanish politics say that the right of selfdetermination is not categoritzed in any Constitution or group of laws (despite that there is for some ones).
After the votation and the repression, a few days ago the Catalan Parliement using and providing his decision with 2.1 milion votes to declare the independence unileterallity about 4 milion of voting population.
The current political state
After the Parliement declares the independence of Catalonia in 2017 and the president suspend it to start a negotiation table with the Spanish goverment to solve the problem using the opinion arround 2.5 milion people. But the Spanish Camber imediateley declares that the competence of the Catalan Parliement were banned and the elect politicist of the Parliement were persecuted by the Spanish Justice Tribunals, some of this representative members were forced to go exiliated in some countries of Europe, knowing now that were acused to rebelion, sedition, terrorism... Some others are in Spanish Jails and now are declaring in a Tribunal having responsability of a majority of the Catalan population had manifestated in the urns.
This prisioners of the Spanish State are in jail for aproximately 2 years, waiting for a centence of a judice tribunal that in the bench have more than two milion catalans. The exiliated are showing to Europe the Catalan situation, having conferneces and planning strategies. Now in the next months this politic exiliated and prisioners, will be chosen by the catalan civils to had arribed the voice of Catalonia to the Europe Parliement. Finally I just would say that a political prisioner had won the general elections of Spain in the region of Catalonia, reproving their dignity and their decisions, some catalans (judges) are defending the prisioners in Spanish Tribunals, and some others are defending the Catalan institutions; but above all we must defend the capacity of the people, the integrity and the democratic deciosion of them (althrough a majority wants to defend the democracy above the Constitutions of suspicious interpretations and ideas of the 19th century).
