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
