So Endesa had to be sold undervalued by more than a 50% because you say so. Ok, that's completely reasonable. The politic affiliation of the CEO of the company has nothing to do, it's a clear ad-hominem attack that has nothing to do with good for the shareholder practices.

I will say it again. Catalonia has in it's estatut that Spain has to provide them ~19% of all the money taxed in Spain, due to their GPD, and they have to provide all the funds necessary to keep that GPD. Andalusia more or less the same due to population. Castille and León the same due to extension, Aragón due to the river and some other absurd thing... this is written in all the regional laws, not only in the Catalan one, and every region says their motive to get more money that the others. If we have to provide everyone what their laws say, Spain has to provide much more than a 100% of the income. The problem lies mainly in Catalonia, where their politicians see this but they ignore that what they ask for is impossible, because it's impossible to comply with all the estatutos.

Are you telling me that we should ignore all the other estatutos, and only comply with the Catalan one?

*sigh*

I said it and I wil said it again: I was talking about the situation that happened when Gas Natural made the offer. It was perfectly reasonalbe to say no, what wasn't reasonable were the other "reasons" weilded by many polititians, the press but also the same Pizarro to go against it. Done?

And as I said, any estatuto is a law. It's simple as that. Were the ones that made it idiots? So what, the problem is that unless you change the law you are forced to accept it and act by it.

And I haven't said anything to imply your last sentence. The answer to that is an obvious NO, and just bringing that question to this debate is offensive.


Then we have a problem, as we can't provide everything every estatuto asks for. Are you really asking the bolded part? I don't think they are idiots, I think they are politicians, they ignore the reality and they try to mold it to their convenience. We have a stalemate situation, there is no political party that will explain that the estatutos are absurd taken all as an unity (maybe UPyD) so the main political parties will try to ignore them as they can't revoke them. The constitutional tribunal should have revoked the economic clauses, but they decided to pass everyone due to political reasons, and we are now in a lose-lose situation.
