Y separatist CATALANOFÓBICOS

Mañana muchos miles de personas formarán una cadena humana para decir que se sienten diferentes a los que no la hacen. Both unwilling to continue living together.

I'm a nomad, live traveling permanently, walking the Camino de Santiago or backpacking around the world. I know many Catalans, several of my best friends are from there, one it was until he died, worked 18 years for a Catalan company, part of my family lives in Catalonia…

I speak of great people, generally, Catalan with whom congenial without any problems and I've pasted the good trips and good partying.

I REFUSE to tell me that we can not live together, we are different, we can not get along, we are from different cultures, we have to put a border and customs that separates us, that part of my family is foreign. It is a lie. But it is a lie that many people are interested. Politicians. They would get more power.

It would be a failure of all of us as we did not know human coexistence maintain.

Although I am unable to understand what is the difference between a Spanish Catalan and any other, still less that has relevance for nothing, the truth is that in Catalonia where people live in different sensitivities. People who are from Catalonian only to those who feel as Catalan and Spanish, through all possible levels. This is a constant in the history of almost anywhere: different people cohabiting the same territory. And it can only end in two ways: or find how to live and respect all viewpoints, or bundled with stronger cakes and ethnic cleansing ago.

I hate to insult Catalan Spain and attack their symbols, those who do not know how to respect feelings than their own. But even greater contempt inspire me to want to Catalonia within Spain but also the hate;ultrasur to the insult from the human mass. Both are minority. The problem is that you hear more thousand screaming that a million is silent.

Especially hate politicians who promote hatred between each other, to those seeking to be ministers rather than “councilors”. And those who wrap themselves in the flag to cover up corruption stinks. I hate stupid those who promote boycotts of Catalan products. And I hate those who invent the colonial relationship “Ens Espanya steals”.

It scares me to see that blame for the economic woes of membership of Spain, as German Jews blamed for losing the war, Catalonia as if he had not fallen into the same excesses brick, Credit and corruption than in the rest. And it scares me alarmist tone, pre-war and radical of certain means Madrid, some Episcopalians…

This month of August I was in Bosnia. There Serbs cohabiting, Bosnians, Croats and some minorities. Some are Orthodox, other Muslims, other Catholics. Some use Latin alphabet, other Cyrillic… Despite all coexisted peacefully for 70 years old. Until that day to day politicians messed a slaughter.

In Spain we have over 500 years together, sharing high glories and sad blunders. There are not races. We are all mestizos as promiscuous as our history, so little Catholics in one place as in another. Morenitos and with a tendency to revelry.

I think the way rupture with Spain that is developing with the strong support of the Catalan government can lead us to an economic downturn and a conflict of unpredictable scope.

But most of all I think we llevaría a great failure as a human. To Us All. For dejarnos llevar for unos politicians seeking afrentas and differences in them where hay. For in being able to live.
