The increase in independence In Catalonia it is not coincidental nor does it respond to circumstances that are difficult to explain.
If we leave identity reasons aside and focus on day-to-day life, who can defend the espolio What do all Catalans suffer from, regardless of whether they feel Spanish or Catalan?
Who can defend that Spain stole in Catalonia 60 million euros per day from fiscal deficit?
Who can defend that students Catalans receive only the 5% of all state scholarships and Madrid students receive the 58%?
Who wouldn't want to see increased rent per capita annual of the Catalans in about 2.400€ per year if we had our own social security?
Who can defend that the «Ministry of Culture» make an annual expense for each Spanish from €47 and for each Catalan only €5?
Who would want to travel with him? 40% of trains built by the State during the 70s that were considered obsolete and that still circulate in Catalonia, while Madrid only has the 4%?
Who wouldn't want to see their country 7 times richerAs the Nobel Prize in Applied Economics said at the UB last May?
Who can defend that 1 in every 3 years the Ministry of Public Works does not invest nothing at all in Catalonia?
Who wants, despite being Catalan and feeling Spanish, for 20.000.000.000 euros to be stolen from us every year (11% of GDP), thus being the region of the world that suffers more deficit on the part of hisgobierno? Does feeling Spanish in Catalonia really compensate for that?
As a resident of Catalonia, who can tolerate that for every 12,7 million euros that are invested in the environment in the El Prat airport, they are invested 300 million to the Barajas?
No matter how Spanish-oriented one is in Catalonia, can it be defended that between 1985 and 2005 only buildings were built in Catalunya 20km of highways Meanwhile in Madrid are made close to 900 in the same period? Can one accept and not protest when in Catalunya only an average of the 12% of the annual Spanish GDP despite contributing the 22% of the same Spanish GDP?
Can we accept the grievance that we have suffered with the AVE? In Catalonia, for the AVE, the government invested 316€ per Catalan, but in the same year he invested 1.198€ per Andalusian, 894€ per Madrid resident,574€ for Aragonese and 407€ for castellanomanchego.
Can you agree to pay tolls and more tolls?
With Catalonia's dependence on Spain, we Catalans, regardless of if we feel Spanish or Catalan, we are losing the opportunity to live betterr. We are losing the opportunity to give a better future to our children.
Spain is a Bad business at cultural but above all at the level or economic sector., and it is because treating Catalunya like a colony It is part of its national leitmotif.
