Catalonia and Venezuela between the jaws of NATO

Catalonia and Venezuela between the jaws of NATO

Rebellion

There are two enormously important and interrelated news that explain many of the twists and contragiros has had the relationship of our country with Venezuela and notice you, readers, what ?, surprise to some Spanish state's relationship with Catalonia.

The news is mediated and interrelated by other "independent" news, which are hung on the media without further comment:

-the statement by the Secretary General of NATO on Catalonia that occurred -The quick meeting (prepared above), "exchange of Chromos" between the Chief Donald Trump and President yesterday  Kisling, Mariano Rajoy, who had right place beginning of the Catalan crisis

-The double news of the expulsion of the Spanish ambassador to Venezuela for continued interference in the affairs of the country, with "balanced" and planned retaliation of the Kingdom of Spain (supposedly the expulsion of the ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in Madrid) . All this means at least freezing of relations unless new order of Trump.

Besides, the media reports, in small print, the ferocious increase in defense spending in Spain under control and pressure NATO and the economic crisis.

' Of course, successive speeches of King also serve asa connecting link. The last Davos ⁱ , between the platitudes and the specific reference to Catalonia and breaking the rule of law.

The state of emergency the state of war

Simultaneously, the two stories explain many things, for example, the appointment by Mariano Rajoy Cospedal as defense minister, this threat of military intervention in Catalonia, with operational support, intelligence and armed by NATO, if not "cope" police forces; warning that Catalonia and the rest of the state to be placed in a state of rebellion or claim a Constituent Assembly will continue to suffer, or suffer in the future, the application of Article 155.

All for under a state of siege or war, ie a state "exception-state of war" open (Article 155 + Cospedal + Soraya Sanz de Santamaria), with the elimination of the Catalan Parliament and all its institutions, imprisonment of those who have opposed these measures, including the Vice President of the Catalan Parliament, and several directors and senior managers;Now we know that the coercion fierce and almost irresistible on the President of Parliament, several parliamentarians, the presidents of two civil organizations Omnium Cultural and Assembly of Catalonia: Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sánchez, respectively; and forced exile of President of the Generalitat and any of the Consellers. Of course, several hundred people are being monitored directly or computationally.

All will be replaced by the Rajoy (Supreme President in two geographical areas) itself, under the direction, in the case of Catalonia, its virreina the vice president, and, if popular overflowing, the Chief Policy assembled, the Defense Minister.

Indeed, at the right time, or a day or one day earlier, the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said at a news conference following:

"The Catalan question is an internal matter to be resolved within the constitutional framework of Spain , " said an official source from NATO, which has been worth also that "Spain is a committed ally who makes significant contributions to our security shared " ⁱⁱ .

Simultaneously the complementary news appears in the media. Nicolas Maduro elected constitutional president and Venezuela ordered the expulsion of the Spanish ambassador continued his Government interference in the internal affairs of Venezuela ⁱⁱⁱ .

A naive-for lack of information, error, or fear I warn you: we are at war within the "global war" in a phase of it, and in the field of interventions and subordination of the empire. The horizon, with the rise of fascism in the US, Europe and Spain, is very black for the people.
