The AME, a Spanish military organization says in an interview on Dutch TV "in the event of tampering or separatism" the military should act.

Via Google Translate, please consider
military association calls for declaring a "state of war" against Catalunya.

Barcelona (Editorial). - The Association of Spanish soldiers returned to the charge. The AME explained in an interview with Dutch television Nieuwsur that, in his opinion, "in the event of tampering or separatism" should be declared "a state of war, state of emergency or a state of siege" in Catalunya.

This has manifested forcefully president of the association, one of three in Spain that brings together active and retired military, Colonel Leopoldo Munoz Sanchez quartermaster. The AME, specifically, make 3500 partners.

"Spain is a nation totally inseparable and if split or threat of separatism us, in accordance with Article 8 of the Spanish Constitution, we must ensure the territorial integrity, so our view is to declare a state of war, state of emergency or martial law ", said Muñoz Sánchez in a Dutch documentary about the Catalan question.

Not the first time that the AME is expressed in this regard. On September 24 threatened to bring before military tribunals President of the Generalitat , Artur Mas, and all Catalans institutional positions that promote the independence of Catalonia, if the military is forced to intervene to "guarantee the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity "of Spain.

Nor was the only military threat to Catalonia in recent times. In late August, the Army Infantry excoronel Spanish, Alaman Francisco Castro, said in an interview with confidential Digital Alert willingness to respond with their own lives to defend the state of eventual independence of Catalonia. So the military has been expressed, it considers that the separation of any autonomy only be "over my dead body."

Expect More Extremism

As Spain sinks further into the abyss, expect more cries from separatists, not less. As happened in Greece (but so far to a much less extreme in Spain), citizens have shifted well away from the center to far left or far right groups.

Everyone, everywhere is Fed up with austerity (which to this point has primarily focused on tax hikes). Tax hikes have been an enormous mistake.What's really needed is work rule reform and less government.

Unfortunately, badly-needed reforms have been put off for so long that increased violence is highly likely in Greece, in Spain, in Portugal, and in Italy, should such reforms finally be implemented.

This is a much better interpretation of the issue. This time, Mish, you've slided a mile. Wonder Why....

" The President of AME, independent and free association, for 25 years and 11 after STC 219/2001, of support to the Association, read in the interview article eight of the Spanish Constitution of 1978, that leaves ultimately as last reason of state, the use of Armed forces, in the case of the attempted secession of a part of the common and indivisible homeland, Spain. It is a fully constitutional mission, while foreign missions are extraconstitutional.

Naturally, he prefers that sanity returns to the political class in Catalonia, but if it falls on the separatist cystic disease state, in collusion with some world powers, the Government of Spain and the political parties nationwide must observe and enforce the Constitution, within current legislation, to try to avoid the "ultima ratio regis", the legal use of force. "

So he says, they better regain their sanity, try to do things good, and restore confidence, but the Constitution has tools that will have to be enforced if they do not. So no calling to state of War, or siege or whatever. Just a description of what is available. Of course, a retired full Coronel himself, if asked, he will say that the Constitution has to be enforced. What else do you expect.

Please do not feed Catalonian Paranoia. They already do it enough by themselves.

To me is simple. If they wanna go, good riddance. But please, stop "playing" with the rest of Spain. Contrary to what they think, they are not better than the rest, nor that different. The "Differential fact" is a joke even them cannot explain.

Enough said
