RE: The first Internet war (And the bad guys are winning!)
I still do not understand why catalonians are not permitted to vote, it would be less costly for the central government than the police-prohibition situation that will happen tomorrow. Besides, the more voting is banned, the more it is desired to vote.
I read comments Rajoy is committing political suicide by the crackdown on the Catalan movement - hopefully no one else will have to die for his stupid actions.
On the contrary, Rajoy is going to come out reinforced from this. The rest of the Spaniards, many of them from the Catalonia region, have been waiting for a long time a strong response to the secessionist thread of the local government of the Catalonian region. Now finally Rajoy does a strong response (although not strong enough for many Spaniards and the army should have been deployed also and it has not been). So most Spaniards see now Rajoy as a strong leader that can avoid an illegal secession of one region of Spain. This will give him an absolute majority in the next elections.
I disagree, the Spanish dont see Rajoy as a strong leader but rather the only short time answer to the strong movement developing from the left. It is a question of time that the young Spanish start voting when they come due age, and they will never vote for Rajoy.
Read my comment below and you will understand. It is a secession and no country can allow a seccesion. The reginal goverment of Catalonia will end up in prission like the last time they did this and which developed in the Spanish Civil War. Let's hope that the Catalan people don't provoke the second Civil War.
