....... I AM SOMEWHAT AMAZED AS WERE MOST CATALAN ACTIVISTS WHO ARE NOT STUPID AND IGNORANT OF FACT THAT HAVING PUT UP WITH SPANISH OBSTINATE ARROGANCE OVER MANY YEARS NOT LEAST SINCE 2015 ARE WELL AWARE THAT SPAIN ARE NOT GOING TO SOFTEN UP ON ANY DELAYS OF ENACTING A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. CATALAN LEADER Carles Puigdemont MISSED THE MOMENT AND THAT COULD BE IT - GAME OVERFOR CATLAN INDEPENDENCE?
THE PROBLEM NOW IS TO KEEP ALIVE TRUST IN THE CATALAN PARTY AND PARLIAMENT WITH ANYWAY SUCH A STRONG SPANISH REPRESENTATION AND NOW THAT THE LEFT CATALAN PARTIES HAVE LEFT UNTILL INDEPENDENCE IS DCLARED FOR REAL! HAVING SPENT A YEAR BUILDING UP STRONG ENTHUIASTIC SUPPORT OF ACTIVISTS AND LEADING THEM INTO A REFERENDUM THAT TURNED VERY VICIOUS WILL THE SAME ACTIVISTS BE WILLING TO BE LED UP THE HILL AGAIN? IF Carles Puigdemont HAD GONE FOR IT AND NOT CAVED IN TO THE MADRID GOVERNMENT AND THE EU WITH MADRID THEN TAKING AWAY CATALAN AUTONOMY AND ARRESTING CATALAN PARLIMENTARIANS ALONG WITH SENDING INTO CATALONIA 1000'S OF CIVIL GUARDS AND SOLDIERS THIS WOULD HAVE AROUSED ACTIVISTS INTO A CATALAN INSURRECTION HARD TO PACIFY WITH WORLD ATTENTION STILL VERY MUCH FOCUSED ON SPANISH AGGRESSION. NOW WORLD MEDIA ATTENTION IS SLIPPING AWAY AND POSSIBLE CATALAN ACTIVISM ON THE WANE - WE SHALL SEE BUT I AM NOT OPPTIMISTIC? AS FOR CYMRU/WALES AND INDEPENDENCE >
DESPITE A POSSIBLY ROMANTIC BELIEF THAT OUR INDEPENDENCE IS POSSIBLE, I SOME WHAT DOUBT IT. CAN WE HONESTLY CONSIDER OUR COUNTRY A 'CELTIC CATALONIA' AND BE AS IRELAND 1916 - 22?
DOUBT IT! WE HAD OUR CHANCE IN THE 'SIXTIES' BUT THERE WAS NOT A GREAT DEAL OF SUPPORT FOR A RADICAL ACTIVIST LIBERATION STRUGGLE >
BUT FOR A FEW WILLING TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM >
WILL THE SPIRIT OF THE 'SIXTIES' RISE AGAIN? A POTENTIAL SIGN THIS MAY BE POSSIBLE COULD BE SEEN IN CAERNARFON SOON ENOUGH BUT I DOUBT IT, THE WHITE EAGLE OF WELSH RESISTANCE HAS HAD IT'S FEATHERS PLUCKED
>
OR A LEWIS LEWIS IN THE SPIRIT OF 1831 RISING >
BUT DOUBT IF SUCH IS TO BE, AS I DOUBT IF YES CYMRU WILL GET ANYWHERE >
NOR 'SWANSEA JAC' (NOT KNOWN FOR ANY ACTIVISM) AND HIS NEW PARTY AKA ALTRIGHT PATRIOTIC POPUlISM >
NEITHER AS WELSH REPUBLICANISM ARISE POST GARETH LOCKWOOD >
SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US, WITH WELSH SOCIALISM PERHAPS? >
WHATEVER, PATRIOTIC PRIORITY NEEDS TO BE>
MYSELF, WILL FOCUS ON PROMOTING AUTONOMY FOR GLYWYSING>
FOR THE FELLAS>
FOR THE GIRLS>
FOR ALL PATRIOTS?
