"Separatism breaks coexistence"

Margallo embassies and consulates sends a report of 210 pages on Catalonia

The Government is convinced that together "we all win and lose separated"

"Never since the recovery of freedom, Catalan society had experienced episodes of tear fracture and risk of social conflict as today. [...] The independence option causes the confusion and consternation of the whole of Spanish society, including much of the Catalan. [...] The independence implies a secure economic impoverishment [...] The European vocation of Catalonia would be truncated [...] There is no emancipation to consider, at this stage of the XXI century, like the Separatists, that the fact to become fellow citizens abroad is the solution for being [...] Who will threaten harmony are those that promote a political project that does not have the other, but without it, a project that intends to maintain the good of living, but pursues separation, connecting with the more serious moments in our recent history [...] The government is convinced that together we all win and we all lose separated. "

The above statements belong to a document entitled What's democratic coexistence that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has provided 129 embassies (11 multilateral) and Spain has 92 consulates worldwide. This is the Spanish diplomats have a solid argument to respond battery in informal meetings, interviews with the media or seminars, the sovereigntist challenge launched by the Catalan institutions.

It is customary to refer Foreign sales arguments on diplomatic issues today-from labor reform-Syrian conflict, so that those responsible know firsthand the government's position and adhere to it. But those telegrams rarely exceed a couple of pages, while the paper on Catalonia occupies 210 pages and the idea is to expand and update it as circumstances require.

Catalan society has never experienced tearing and social fracture as now

The report, a manual in the form of questions and answers, inspired Stronger Together campaign (Stronger Together) with the British David Cameron hopes to win a referendum on Scottish independence, generally consists of a short text and six annexes in which is analyzed from different angles (political, legal, cultural or economic) the Catalan question.

The central thesis of the text, peppered with quotes, mostly Catalan authors, but also the rest of Spain and abroad, is that separatism is not a democratic choice, but represents instead breaking the frame of concord and coexistence that the Spaniards were in transition, when they decided to settle their differences through dialogue and agreement. "When a unilateral policy action that is pursued to coexistence is proposed, it is improper to speak of a democratic principle," he argues.

Faced with the strategy of the Catalan President Artur Mas present itself as a champion of dialogue as opposed to wild intransigence Madrid, Foreign policy highlights the outstretched hand of Mariano Rajoy, "no expiration date" whose only limit is loyalty; that is, respect for the law. "It is incongruous to accuse the government of unwillingness to dialogue with those who promote a project that wants to end the dialogue."

The report is more than a year developed where with input from various departments and experts, but the minister José Manuel García-Margallo has decided to distribute after the put date and nationalist parties announced referendum question. "It's been a second phase, internationalization, and we could not sit idly by," government sources allege.

Here are some highlights paragraphs of the manual:

The Constitution: " The Constitution is not an idol or an arcane [but] embodies the best we've done together. The popular ratification of the Constitution reached 91.9% of the vote in Catalonia, with 68% participation. Never citizens of Catalonia have exceeded this level of participation and support any other standard. "

Constitutional reform: " While it is obviously possible to amend the Constitution , the channel is complex in all countries, also in Spain. [...] A constitutional amendment that results in a substantial change in the state model must be the product of a decision of the Spanish people, holder of national sovereignty, and in accordance with the procedures laid down in the Constitution itself. "

Catalan self-government: "We can say, with all historical rigor, never Catalonia, in its democratic history, has achieved greater degree of self-government in all spheres, political, economic and cultural, [...] as the day, under the Constitution and the Statute, Catalonia recovered its institutions of self-government. "

Catalonia against Spain: "There is no confrontation with the Spanish State Catalonia but the usual discrepancy in politics, as in any other democracy. [...] The symmetric independence movement is expulsionista, that of those who are trying to Catalonia. expel from Spain. This is a movement on the rise and thus also impoverishing himself and regressive. [But] both are thankfully minority. Most commitment to harmony. "

International law: "The principle of territorial integrity is a core element of international law the right of self-determination is only allowed when very precise assumptions are met. Former colonies, oppressed and massive and flagrant violations of the rights humans. Given these requirements, separatists try to present Spain as a colonial and totalitarian country, only by force prisoners kept some of its citizens. Only if the international society that is the true reality of Spain can be persuaded , in his view, self-determination according to law be achieved. "

Outside the EU: " An independent Catalonia would ipso facto outside the European Union . It would be, for all purposes, a new state would have to undergo the procedure of accession. Your income should be adopted unanimously, ie, any of the current 28 Member States would veto. In light of the foregoing, the negotiations could take years. Meanwhile, citizens of the new state, national, not enjoy, except in cases of dual nationality, the nationality of any State of the Union and therefore not the status of European citizenship ".
