It’s felt like a victory rally
For polishing of catalan pro-independence parties
It succeed in turning this election
into a vote on wether this origin wake away of spain
And as the results came in,
they claim that they want a mandate to set apart towards independence.
The pro-independence move that here in catalonia appointed this as a complete victory.
But it is not the way they want it.
It looks like they got a majority of seeds in the catalan parliaments
but not majority of votes.
Believing have to team up with the small anticapitalist separatist party
to have a majority of seeds .
But catalonia’s president painted an ambigulous result
as a clear success.
“We have won the plebiscite, this is the important thing.”
“Will you got the full independence now?”
"We have a clear absolut majority in the catalan parliament to go ahead”
The Spanish government will say he and his movement failed
parting absences of a real referendum here.
His supporters believe they can push ahead.
“We don’t get a majority in votes,
we should question again the population of catalonia”
“But the Spanish government will not approve that referendum”
“Yeah, that’s a problem”
“What happens after tonight?”
“A new government and
the beginning of the process of independence
I think”
“Even if you don’t have 50% of the votes?”
“Yes”
“In this election”
“Yes, because I think it’s not fair to counting votes
if it’s not a real referendum.”
The ultimate threat it’s to declare independence
without the consent of the Spanish state.
It’s the tactic of the pro-independence movement
to try imppressure Madrid
into allowing a proper referendum.
