Originally published in Spanish: “La DUI esconde su derrota”. Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global. Before analysing what happened last Friday on the Catalan Parliament, it is important to look carefully at the massive variety show that developed on Thursday, because it was then when the defeat of the separatist policy revealed itself in its true magnitude.

La DUI masque sa défaite
Publié à l’origine en espagnol: “La DUI esconde su derrota” Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global. Avant d’analyser ce qui s’est passé vendredi au Parlement de la Catalogne, il est important de s’arrêter un instant sur l’immense vaudeville qui s’est déroulé jeudi car c’est à ce moment-là que s’est révélée la véritable dimension de la défaite politique […]
A Sick Society
Originally published in Spanish: “Una socieadad enferma”. Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global. Let me be clear: a large part of Catalan society is politically sick. It includes many educated people, well paid, and even successful professionals. It is the secessionist passion aptly described by the psychiatrist Adolph Tobeña in his book. People who, instead of demanding […]
Une societé malade
Publié à l’origine en espagnol. Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global Je le dirai clairement : une bonne partie de la société catalane est politiquement malade. Et cela inclut beaucoup de personnes qui ont fait des études universitaires, qui sont bien rétribuées et qui ont réussi professionnellement. C’est la passion sécessionniste que décrivait avec beaucoup de justesse […]
The Scapegoats
Originally published in Spanish. Ignacio Vidal-Folch. Crónica Global. In this sinister movie which is the Catalan process (from which, judging by the first cataclysmic consequences, with the businesses leaving Catalonia for Madrid, Valencia, Aragon or wherever, with the elders panicking for losing their pensions, with the emptying of banks boxes, and even with the possibility […]
I capri espiatori
Originale: “Los chivos expiatorios”. Ignacio Vidal-Folch. Crónica Global In questo film infausto che è il prusés [il processo indipendentista catalano, NdT] (da cui, alla luce delle prime conseguenze catastrofiche, con la fuga delle aziende dalla Catalogna verso Madrid, Valencia, Aragona o altrove, con il terrore degli anziani di rimanere senza pensione, con il prosciugamento delle casse delle banche, addirittura […]
The culprit of it all
Published originally in Spanish. Ramón de España. Crónica Global We hadn’t heard for some time of that adorable elderly couple that are Jordi Pujol and Marta Ferrusola when a photograph of both of them voting on last Sunday became a reminder that they were still alive and kicking. In the so-called polling station nobody insulted them nor […]
Imagine the Worst
Published originally in Spanish. Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global. Some of us have been warning for years about separatism’s insurrectional strategy until sadly the incontestable reality of these days has proven us right. Although sometimes manipulation and lies can push an enlightened society to catastrophe, that end is not always written in advance. However, to prevent it, […]
Plaçons-nous dans le pire scénario
Publié à l’origine en espagnol. Joaquim Coll. Crónica Global. Nous sommes quelques-uns à avertir, depuis des années, de la stratégie insurrectionnelle du séparatisme, jusqu’à ce que la réalité incontestable de ces jours-ci ne nous donne tristement raison. Bien que la manipulation et les mensonges poussent souvent des sociétés cultivées vers le désastre, cette fin bien […]
Liars and bullies (don’t vote, citizens!)
Published originally in Spanish. Carlos Jiménez Villarejo. Crónica Global. ‘Nobody is worth more than anybody else’ (Antonio Machado) The events of 20 September have made it all clearer. The Civil Guard, as a state law-enforcement agency under orders from Barcelona Investigative Court no. 13, and as part of its judicial commission, searches several state institutions […]
