The Spanish Government is clearly fascist and cannot escape that stigma. The day before the appearance of Carles Puigdemont in front of the regional parliament of Catalonia, the Madrid government has come out and warned of serious bodily threats that one would expect only from a dictator \u2013 not an elected democratic government. <\/span>Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy\u2019s spokesperson, Pablo Casado, came out and rejected all calls for any dialogue in Madrid with Catalonia.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cWe will not give in, and there is nothing to negotiate with the putschists,\u201d said Casado.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Casados boldly stated publicly: \u201cAnyone who declares it (independence) will end up like the one who declared it 83 years ago.\u201d<\/strong> In Spanish history back in 1934, Llu\u00eds\u00a0Companys i Jover (1882-1940)\u00a0was the head of\u00a0 Catalonia\u2019s government, which proclaimed itself as an independent state back then as well.<\/span>\u00a0He and the entire regional government were arrested after a few hours by the Spanish army.<\/span>\u00a0He was exiled to France in 1939 but would not leave because his son was seriously ill.\u00a0In 1940, Companys was captured and was handed over by the Nazi Gestapo to the dictator Francisco Franco (1939-1975). He was executed in Barcelona at 6:30 a.m. on October 15, 1940 for seeking Catalonian Independence. Llu\u00eds\u00a0 refused to wear a blindfold, and was taken before a firing squad of Civil Guards barefoot. When they fired, his last words were \u2018Per Catalunya!\u2019 (For Catalonia!). Keep in mind that people were imprisoned for even speaking Catalonia\u2019s language.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 90% of voters in Catalonia voted for a separation from Spain BECAUSE<\/strong> of Rajoy\u2019s dictatorial attitude.<\/span>\u00a0Here is a banknote from the last independence movement from our collection of the World Monetary System.\u00a0The opponents of Independence, who had boycotted the vote by a majority, went to the streets of Barcelona on Sunday to protest against the\u00a0separation. <\/span><\/p>\n
