Diari De Les Idees Diari de les idees Núm. 70 Monogràfic Article 155 (23-27 d’octubre 2017) RESUM D‟IDEES Spain‟s government will not give way on Catalonia. The next step may ruin the province or boost the rebel cause Giles Tremlett, ―Catalan separatists prepare for war of attrition against Madrid‖, The Observer, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 The prime minister built his reputation on saving his country from economic disaster, but one region‟s push for independence has forced him into the gamble of his life Sam Jones, ―Mariano Rajoy: Spain‘s ‗safe pair of hands‘ risking it all on Catalonia‖, The Guardian, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 Catalan autonomy suspended over „systematic rebellion‟ as PM Mariano Rajoy seeks Senate approval to remove powers Stephen Burgen, ―Catalonia: Spanish Government to impose direct rule‖, The Guardian, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 Though separatists are asking Europeans for their support, the last thing we need is more Nationalism Natalie Nougayrède, ―The Catalan case is persuasive. But that way lies ruin‖, The Guardian, 20 d‘octubre de 2017 Terror attacks scarcely dent tourist numbers but images of police and rallies around independence poll have taken toll Stephen Burgen, ―Catalonia tourism slumps 15% since referendum violence‖, The Guardian, 20 d‘octubre de 2017 The unexpectedly forceful moves by Mr. Rajoy, made after an emergency cabinet meeting, thrust Spain into uncharted waters. Raphael Minder, ―Spain Will Remove Catalonia Leader, Escalating Secession Crisis‖, The New York Times, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 1 Les rues des villes de la péninsule ibérique voient fleurir les drapeaux espagnols, du jamais-vu. Le signe d'un réveil du sentiment national espagnol dans un pays qui fait figure d'exception en Europe? Catherine Gouëset, ―La crise catalane a-t-elle réveillé le nationalisme espagnol?‖, L’Express, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 Les aspirations indépendantistes catalanes, au demeurant légitimes, se voient ainsi réprimées au nom d'une rhétorique aussi simpliste qu'intraitable : le droit espagnol, tranchant et froid, fait ici figure de seule finalité Frédéric Bérard, ―Indépendance: la leçon québéquoise‖, Le Point, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 Simplesmente não sabemos que medidas é que o governo espanhol pode colocar em ação. Não sabemos de que forma os poderes do governo catalão podem ser afetados João Francisco Gomes, ― Catalunha. O dia em que Rajoy aplicou a ‗bomba atñmica‘‖, Observador, 21d‘octubre de 2017 No actual quadro, que Estados poderão reconhecer a Catalunha como um Estado independente? Se excluirmos porventura alguns Estados párias, a resposta é simples: nenhum. Vale a pena perceber porquê. Jorge Pereira da Silva, ―Não é independente quem quer‖, Observador, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 Um outro grave risco é a polarização da Catalunha entre dois nacionalismos antagónicos. Jorge Almeida Fernandes, ―Catalunha: quanto pior, melhor?‖, Público, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 A verdade é que Rajoy ofereceu todas as desculpas com que Artur Mas ou Carles Puigdemont poderiam ter sonhado para tornar a independência no tema único do debate catalão. Recusando-se a discutir uma questão que sabe só ter uma resolução política. Sofia Lorena, ―E a polìtica, senhores?‖, Público, 20 d‘octubre de 2017 2 Compromise and careful negotiation can ease the Catalan crisis. Yet both sides in the debate are sticking doggedly, and dangerously, to their moral certitude Vitor Lapuente Giné, ―Spain needs responsible politicians. Instead, they are stoking insurrection‖, The Guardian, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 Move comes after imposition of direct rule by Madrid – described by Carles Puigdemont as worst attack on institutions since Franco Sam Jones, ―Catalonia weighs up declaration of independence‖, The Guardian, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 Instead of taking measures towards de-escalation, the Spanish government has doubled down and pushed the Catalan government into a dead-end street. Albert Royo-Mariné, ―Mariano Rajoy has staged a ‗coup d‘état‘ against Democracy in Catalonia‖, The Independent, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 It is in the interests of all to break that deadlock and start talking – in whatever language they wish ―The deadlock between Spain and Catalonia can only be solved through dialogue‖, The Independent, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 L'Espagne se prépare à une semaine décisive qui pourrait déboucher sur une reprise en main musclée de la Catalogne en pleine poussée de fièvre indépendantiste. Amandine Seguin, ―Catalogne: coup de force inédit de Rajoy pour empêcher la sécession‖, L’Express, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 M. Puigdemont demeure le président de la Catalogne jusqu‟à vendredi. Et, à ce titre, deux voies s‟ouvrent à lui : se déclarer en rébellion et proclamer la République catalane, ou reculer et, pour préserver l‟autonomie de la région, convoquer de nouvelles élections régionales qui désactiveraient de fait l‟article 155. Sandrine Morel, ―Catalogne: face aux mesures de tutelle, les options des independantistes‖, Le Monde, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 3 Le Parlement devrait également célébrer une date historique : celle du quarantième anniversaire du retour à Barcelone de Josep Tarradellas, président de la Généralité, l‟exécutif catalan, après un exil de plus de trente ans pendant la dictature de Franco Isabelle Piquer, ―A Barcelone : 'On a besoin de normalité'‖, Le Monde, 23 d'octubre de 2017 A CUP quer reação rápida à bomba atómica de Mariano Rajoy e apelou esta manhã à "desobediência civil massiva" contra o artigo 155. Parlamento pode declarar independência na próxima quinta-feira. Rita Dinis, ―Catalunha apel·la à ‗desobediència civil‘ para rejeitar artigo 155”, Observador, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 O movimento independentista catalão tem uma semana para proclamar o seu país. Não será país para durar ou governar e servirá simultaneamente como consolação aos milhões de pessoas que em três anos votaram em dois referendos não reconhecidos Félix Ribeiro, ―Catalunha. Pode fazer-se um paìs numa semana?‖, Sol, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 Perciò nessuno in Europa intende riconoscere la Catalogna come Stato indipendente. Anche Theresa May, in piena Brexit, ha detto che il Regno Unito non riconoscerà mai la Catalogna. Al di là di alcune scene che non ci sono piaciute nel giorno del referendum catalano, la Spagna è una democrazia che è stata costruita grazie all‟impegno di milioni di spagnoli e in particolare grazie all‟impegno di tre grandi personaggi Mario Ajello, ―Antonio Tajani: ‗Serve uno stop alle piccole patrie‘‖, Il Messaggero, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 It seems likely that this dispute will escalate. Western democracy is on trial here and it is time for cool heads on all sides and for dialogue. And surely there is a role for the EU. ―Democracy on trial in Catalan crisis‖, The Scotsman, 21 d‘octubre de 2017 4 Yet it is hard to view this measure as anything other than a “hard” re- centralisation, given that it means the removal from office of the entire Catalan cabinet, with their portfolios to be taken on by ministers in Madrid; the reining in of the powers of the Catalan parliament; and the calling of regional elections Guy Hedgecoe, ―Catalonia‘s selfgovernment drive faces unpalatable decisions‖, The Irish Times, 22 d‘octubre de 2017 Les indépendantistes vivent dans une bulle, ils vendent de l‟illusion, ils capitalisent sur la complexité de la situation catalane. Mais ils n‟osent pas organiser un scrutin régional, sous contrôle de la commission électorale espagnole ; un scrutin précédé d‟une campagne libre sur les vrais enjeux de « l‟indépendance » ; un scrutin légal qui dirait comment se départage la population de la Catalogne. Ils préfèrent la politique du pire. ―En Catalogne, la politique du pire‖, Le Monde, 23 d'octubre de 2017 The longer the Barcelona-Madrid struggle rages, and the more entrenched the opposing sides become, the greater the potential for its destabilising effects to send political and economic shockwaves across Europe Simon Tisdall, ―How the Catalan crisis could send shockwaves across Europe‖, The Guardian, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 The political crisis in Catalonia and how it is resolved will have an impact on the European Union, not just Spain. It highlights the problem of forced integration of a people who have historically expressed a desire for self-governance and voluntary association. Íðigu Urkullu, ―Only political dialogue can bring stability to Catalonia – and the EU must help‖, The Guardian, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 Leaders of the secessionist campaign said the referendum gave them a mandate to claim independence Julien Troyer & Paul Day, ―Catalonia says it will defy orders from Spanish government when it imposes direct rule‖, The Independent, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 5 Whatever the independence vote‟s legal basis, surely condemning violence by the authorities against innocent people isn‟t too much of a stretch? Will Gore, ―By refusing to address the Catalan crisis, the EU shows itrself a tits worst‖, The Independent, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 In Spain and Italy, the answer is clear – a mixture of austerity and central government failures has prompted regional dissatisfaction. Elsewhere, the reasons are more complicated, but they‟re not going away Paul Mason, ―Catalonia, Lombardy, Scotland... why the fight for self-determination now?‖, The Guardian, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 The European Union is not the right body, but an independent third party could help Madrid and Barcelona ease the confrontation before it is too late ―Wanted: an honest broker‖, The Guardian, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 Herein lies a conundrum: How do nation states and the international system address calls for independence in a system that doesn‟t really encourage them? Krishnadev Calamur, ―Why Aren‘t There More New Countries?‖, The Atlantic, 23 d‘octubre de 2017 Les plus radicaux des indépendantistes catalans ont promis une campagne de désobéissance massive si Madrid prend le contrôle de cette région autonome vendredi, alors qu'aucun rapprochement ne semblait en vue pour éviter l'escalade.

  • Bulls and Donkeys. National Identity and Symbols in Catalonia and Spain
    9TH ANNUAL JOAN GILI MEMORIAL LECTURE Miquel Strubell i Trueta Bulls and donkeys. National identity and symbols in Catalonia and Spain The Anglo-Catalan Society 2008 2 Bulls and donkeys. National identity and symbols in Catalonia and Spain 9TH ANNUAL JOAN GILI MEMORIAL LECTURE Miquel Strubell i Trueta Bulls and donkeys. National identity and symbols in Catalonia and Spain The Anglo-Catalan Society 2008 2 3 The Annual Joan Gili Memorial Lecture Bulls and donkeys. National identity and symbols in Catalonia and 1 Spain In this paper, after an initial discussion about what identity means and how to measure it, I intend to review some studies and events in Spain in which identity issues arise. The conclusion will be reached that identities in Spain, in regard to people’s relationship with Spain itself and with Catalonia, are by no means shared, and the level of both stereotyping and prejudice, on the one hand, and of collective insecurity (even “self-hatred”) on the other, are, I claim, higher than in consolidated nation-states of western Europe, with the partial exceptions of the United Kingdom and Belgium. Let me from the outset say how honoured I am, in having been invited to deliver this paper, to follow in the footsteps of such outstanding Catalan academics as Mercè Ibarz, Antoni Segura, Joan F. Mira, Marta Pessarrodona, Miquel Berga … and those before them. The idea of dedicating what up till then had been the Fundació Congrés de Cultura lectures to the memory of Joan Gili (Barcelona 1907 - Oxford 1998) was an inspiration. Unlike some earlier Memorial lecturers, however, I was fortunate enough to have a special personal relationship with him and, of course, with his wife Elizabeth.

  • Legalizing Secession: the Catalan Case
    E-journal promoted by the Campus for Peace, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya http://journal-of-conflictology.uoc.edu ARTICLE Legalizing Secession: The Catalan Case Lluís Pérez and Marc Sanjaume Submitted: July 2013 Accepted: September 2013 Published: November 2013 Abstract In this article we review the main theories of secession from a normative point of view, relating them to the debate on the constitutionalization of secession and the Catalan case in particular. Our conclusion is that secession conflicts are complex because several issues related to justice and democracy are involved. For the Catalan case, we defend the idea of adopting a constitutional or (quasi-)constitutional approach as a peaceful and reasonable way to handle the secessionist debate. This would take into account what authors such as Norman or Sunstein have suggested in their analyses. Liberal democracies are able to consider secession as a way of solving territorial disputes, which need to be approached from a pragmatic and reasonable point of view. Keywords ascriptivism, Catalonia, constitution, independence, plebiscitarianism, Quebec, rationality, reasonableness, remedialism, right to decide, secession, self-determination 1.

Toulmin rejects the idea that the challenges of REASONABLE APPROACH our unpredictable societies can be confronted only from TO SECESSION inflexible and abstract theoretical positions; instead, he ar- gues for the need to handle this task with a down-to-earth In his book Return to Reason (2003), Stephen Toulmin reasoned way of thinking, which could take into account described two ways of using human reason.

    THE CRIME OF SEDITION AND THE RIGHT TO PROTEST How the crime of sedition affects the fundamental right of assembly and the freedom to demonstrate The crime of sedition in European Criminal Comparative Law The cooperative Red Jurídica is a law firm based in Madrid. But we are much more than that. We are, first and foremost, people committed to the reality of our environment, seeking social transformation and involved in different causes, asso- ciations and groups. We are citizens, neighbors, daughters, sons, parents, sisters, brothers and friends. Red Jurídica (which means “legal network” in Spanish) is a gathering of people united by our critical involvement in social justice issues and by the critical way we work our craft: by using solidarity and the Law as a means of transforming our reality and understanding the social aspects of our context until we can finally change it for better.

  • BAB IV KESIMPULAN Carles Puigdemont Resmi Menjabat
    BAB IV KESIMPULAN Carles Puigdemont resmi menjabat sebagai Presiden Katalonia, Carles Puigdemont langsung mengatakan bahwa dalam 18 bulan Katalonia akan melakukan referendum, Carles Puigdemont juga menyatakan keinginan Katalonia untuk merdeka kepada wakil – wakil diplomat yang berada di Barcelona. Upaya diplomasi dilakukan oleh Carles Puigdemont dengan cara mengadakan pertemuan dengan wakil negara lain seperti dari Flanders, Scotlandia dan parlemen Uni Eropa. Upaya diplomasi Carles Puigdemont termasuk dalam paradiplomasi yang bearti proses diplomasi dilakukan oleh “sub-state” karena bagaimanapun, Katalonia masih merupakan bagian dari Spanyol dan tujuan dari diplomasi Carles Puigdemont juga merupakan diplomasi publik untuk merubah persepsi negara lain terhadap proses kemerdekaan Katalonia dari Spanyol. Pemerintahan dan warga Katalonia menginginkan kemerdekaan dari Spanyol karena merasa adanya ketidak adilan dan berbeda dengan Spanyol. Keinginan tersebut dilaksanakan ketika pada masa pemerintahan Carles Puigdemont yang mempunyai afiliasi partai separatis dan berkuasa di parlemen Katalonia. Pada 1 Oktober 2017 Katalonia akhirnya mengadakan referendum mengenai kemerdekaan Katalonia dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa 90 persen pemilih mendukung gerakan independen dari Spanyol Carles Puigdemont langsung mendeklarasikan kemerdekaan pada 27 Oktober. Mengetahui hal ini, pemerintah Spanyol pun memberlakukan aturan 67 langsung dengan menerapkan Undang-Undang Pasal 155 dari konstitusi dasar, dan ini merupakan implementasi yang dilakukan pertama kalinya

  • Conferència Del President Torra: “El Nostre Moment”
    Conferència del president Torra: “El nostre moment” Barcelona, 4 de setembre de 2018 Benvolgudes amigues, benvolguts amics, Moltes gràcies per ser avui aquí. Per compartir aquesta estona plegats. En una conferència que he preparat al llarg d’aquestes últimes setmanes, que he tingut l’oportunitat de demanar l’opinió a molta gent i que espero que plantegi un debat al país sobre com encarem el futur de la nostra nació. He intentat dividir aquesta exposició en cinc grans blocs: primer, sobre on som, on crec que ens trobem en aquests moments; com hem arribat fins aquí, què ha passat en aquest país; un tercer bloc, que seria, hi ara què? i amb una sèrie de propostes que espero siguin objecte d’aquest debat ciutadà; un quarts sobre les oportunitats que tenim, que em sembla que tenim al davant, centrades en les victòries internacionals jurídiques i polítiques, amb un sol poble pels drets socials, el calendari que tenim pel davant, les vies d’acció republicana, d’un poble constituent i la causa justa a la independència, i el cinquè serà com guanyarem, en el que m’agradaria centrar-me en paraules com organització, coordinació, preparació, mentalitat de màxima persistència, voluntat de suma, de grans consensos i sobretot fer un clam final a l’esperança. Aquesta conferència no és pas una protesta, sinó una proposta. Perquè Catalunya es troba avui en una cruïlla. Perquè amb presos polítics, exiliats i milers de catalans investigats i processats, l’hora és greu. Perquè la llibertat i la justícia només són vàlides en la veritat. I perquè la veritat ens exigeix determinació, resistència i esperança.

  • L'independentisme Fa Un Pas Endavant «In Extremis»
    Política | | Actualitzat el 09/01/2016 a les 22:19 L'independentisme fa un pas endavant «in extremis» Carles Puigdemont es convertirà aquest diumenge en el 130è president de la Generalitat a poques hores que expiri el termini | Mas assumeix el sacrifici de deixar el Govern per evitar noves eleccions | La CUP es compromet a garantir l'estabilitat, assumeix la dimissió de dos diputats però mantindrà un grup parlamentari amb deu escons | L'acord a Catalunya pot accelerar una gran coalició a nivell espanyol El "fil d'esperança" (http://www.naciodigital.cat/noticia/101114/junts/si/cup/no/tanquen/acord/anc/ja/nom/fil/esperanca) que ahir mantenia el president de l'ANC s'ha convertit, contra tot pronòstic, en un acord in extremis per desbloquejar la investidura. No és la primera vegada ni molt menys que succeïx un fet similar en el procés sobiranista però en aquesta ocasió sí que sembla impossible. Aquest diumenge, al vespre, a poques hores -o minuts- perquè expiri el termini, Carles Puigdemont es convertirà en el 130è president de la Generalitat. A mesura que avançava la jornada anaven transcendint notícies que Junts pel Sí i la CUP estaven acostant posicions. L'acord, després de "no" definitiu dels "cupaires" a Artur Mas, passava indefectiblement per un "pas al costat" de l'actual president en funcions (http://www.naciodigital.cat/noticia/101157/mas/fa/pas/al/costat/sera/expresident) . Al llarg del dia han sonat diversos noms -Muriel Casals i Neus Munté semblaven inicialment els que tenien més opcions- però al migdia ha acabat transcendint el de Carles Puigdemont, alcalde de Girona i president de l'Associació de Municipis per la Independència.

Segon, que serem lleials al mandat del referèndum d'autodeterminació del primer d’octubre: construir un estat independent en forma de República. I tercer, el nostre programa de govern és la cohesió social i la prosperitat econòmica de Catalunya. A continuació, vaig exposar cinc idees bàsiques que marcaran aquesta legislatura: excepcionalitat, provisionalitat, responsabilitat dels membres del Govern, diàleg i vida.
