The real and the unreal Catalonia

Valenti Puig

One of the north, reaching the Catalan nationalism has been that many people finally take in Spain to be tantamount to Catalan nationalism and the political Catalan uniquely represents all Catalonia. That mortgage and taxes a reasonable view of reality. If you live is part of both convictions as discrepancies insurmountable lead is taken for a distance and assume it. To a greater or lesser extent both behaviors fit the parameters of the open society. Diverge, however, to set the texture lavida moral and civic service.

As observers of the relationship between Catalan nationalism and the whole of Spain, some think that the negative field at least there is no other choice than mere conllevancia. But if we are talking of Catalonia in general, much more multifaceted and complex than its more nationalist-dynamic and evolving, is something of every day living in the naturalness of being different and yet part of Spain. This is about real Catalonia. Yes, surely you must set funding schemes state, but not on behalf of collective identities of metaphysical or ancestral, but on behalf of citizens and taxpayers, not claim "ad infinitum." The statute of autonomy was a shared political objective in the years of democratic transition because we went from an authoritarian regime and claimed the overall feel a bit lost.

now is different: there is already a "statute" and its content covers all the dynamism of Catalan society, its institutional form and its presence in Spain. Between the lead and has long been living ranging policy Catalan nationalism, since its inception and throughout history in which hay casi de todo en su percepción de España. Su penúltima tesis es el proyecto de nuevo «Estatut» actualmente en proceso de trámite parlamentarioen las Cortes, con promesa de receptividad por parte de Rodríguez Zapatero. Más allá del gran embrollo político y la turbulencia demagógica que se han generado, luego resulta que lo que es la convivencia natural se somete todos los días al referéndum, al plebiscito del orden espontáneo, y en este caso el sí es masivo y, por así decirlo, obvio. En la Cataluña real se vota en los usos lingüísticos reales, en el puente aéreo Barcelona-Madrid, en las redes tecnológicas, en las relaciones de mercado, en los vínculos entre universidades, the zapping television and radio dial, at ATMs in the consumption of books in Catalan and Castilian, the new musical groups in the world of theater or cinema that goes back and forth between Madrid and Barcelona. By contrast, the fact is that a large majority of members of the regional parliament of Catalonia voted affirmatively a draft organic law does not assume the same way everyday consensus of Catalan society, aims to change the constitutional order and away from the grand bargain - metahistorical pact, if we may-1978. The Government insists the enthusiasm of the vast majority of Catalans Porel new 'Statute. "

bit pious would remember these abstention notable moments that historically occurs in the regional elections, generally in socialist voting in general elections. This is how the Catalan political class has been building his fictions, and it was because of a PSC with a bad conscience as Catalan Jordi Pujol governments lacked political opposition in their identity and language.

In arguing the inevitability of conllevancia in statutory debate of the Constituent Cortes on May 13, 1932 Ortega said that "the Catalan problem" is a problem that can not be resolved, which can only lead, which is a perpetual problem. This "Catalan problem" is nationalism, and nationalism is subjected to the polls. Historically, we have seen their hegemony and their slopes, their albs and eclipses: nationalism is a political choice. Catalan society, by contrast, is a vitality and deep-rooted feelings have their cycles and rhythms, but it is something that existed before the political and Catalan nationalism exists when completely exhausted its symbolic capital and, subsequently, its plot political interests.

Although Ortega formulate his parliamentary speech in terms of others that will entail taking English to Catalan Catalan and English Getting along with others such realities lived then and live in today. It is the responsibility of the "Establishment"-the famous Catalan political mainstreaming of the PSC-PSOE has participated so far, have raised the statutory reform so that the only alternatives are the best of cases, or ruptures conllevancia now undefined.

By contrast, both Catalonia and for Spain as a whole, the best moments have coincided with stages of understanding for possibilistic and pragmatic positions of Catalan. In contrast, the phases of Companys maximalism-case, for example, have been inevitably Pyrrhic victories so inescapable that affected the stability of the entire Spain. Now, with a "statute" designed to address a PP government and not for the Catalans were more fortunate, the new phase is maximal, as indicated by traffic autonomist substantially to the sovereign.

From there you can stem the excesses of those who confuse Catalonia and the Catalans with nationalism. It is an instinctive position, without horizon, for example, to boycott cava. The production and rising consumption of cava is precisely a live test and a denial of conllevancia fatalistic. The exercise of citizenship in Spain is great, as more effective in pressuring the deputies and parties, be present in the parliamentary debate already started in practice as public and not merely as reactive and atavistic gesture, sometimes lunatic. "Mutatis mutandis" virtual expansion of the Catalan nationalist myths Madrid make the blind, slobbering monster at the end of the maze, the same way that Castilla is to blame for all ills Catalans. The cartoons just giving other clubs with cartoons on the puppet theater of political history. Fall into either of the two ends stripped of rationality debate of historic dimension.

course, the stridency is expected when a president of government-as with Rodríguez Zapatero, is postulated as a mediator between those who wish to retain the 1978 Constitution and who not. Strange vocation of driving the locomotive while the train will be assailant. ABC
