Spain's Crisis Re-ignited As Catalan Separatists Win Vote by Fulmigati: 9:41am On Dec 25, 2017 |
BARCELONA/MADRID (Reuters) - Separatists looked set on Friday to regain power in Catalonia after voters rejected Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s attempt to neuter its independence movement, instead re-igniting the country’s biggest political crisis in decades. Spanish markets recoiled at a surprise result that is also a setback for the European Union, which must now brace for more secessionist noise as it grapples with the disruption of Brexit and simmering east European discontent. By risking a parliamentary election in the region, Rajoy appears to have made the same mistake that leaders including Greece’s Alexis Tsipras, Britain’s David Cameron and Italy’s Matteo Renzi have made in recent years: betting that voters would resolve their troublesome domestic conundrums for them. With well over 99 percent of votes from Thursday’s election counted, separatist parties had secured a slim majority. Spain’s stock market fell around 1 percent and the country’s borrowing costs rose as investors bet the ensuing ramp-up in tensions with its richest region will hurt the euro zone’s fourth-largest economy. Rajoy ruled out calling national elections over events that have weakened his authority, while both he and exiled separatist leader Carles Puigdemont said they were open for dialogue. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain-politics-catalonia/spains-crisis-re-ignited-as-catalan-separatists-win-vote-idUSKBN1EG13A |

It is time for the formation of a political party for the Biafran actualization movement. I would normally be against it, but the recent Spanish election proves that we need take a page from their book. The Catalonian separatists won a majority in their region has breathe new life into Catalonia independence. Biafra is the heart of the people of the East and I'm very the confident that even the Nigerian rigging machine cannot stop an organization that reps her interest. 1 Like |

I'm in full agreement. I pretty much support any means of Biafra independence. But formation of political party is good way to get past the Igbo elite who insist on perishing as Nigerians. IPOB have done an excellent job of rallying the people, but they have clearly ran out of gas. 1 Like |
