Now Flemish Assembly voted to reject Catalonia independence, only independistas friends far-right Vlaams Belang voting yes.
I really don't get why the independistas get as much a pass as they do from so-called left leaning sector, just because they pose as
opposed to Franco/PP, when they themselves are as much nationalists, never mind Omnium founders linked to regime (e.g. Millet)
who took refuge in fascist Italy until tide of war turned enough that they could safely support the fascists war vs the Republic.
These inane medieval kingdom fantasies are classic nationalist distraction from real political questions facing normal people.
Their cartoon history politics only goes as far as what supports their nationalist project, happy to claim Valencia, Baleares
as part of "Catalan nation" yet curiously ignore their opinion when it comes to their staged nationalist referendums,
making totalitarian claim to speak for will of "the people" despite failing to manage convincing majority of just Catalonia region.
Oh... but now Valencians and Aragones are imperialist oppressors of the Castillian centralist supremacy. (along with Galicians)

Here in spain the left was against this independentist process too, even Podemos and Izquierda Unida (far left) said they didn't supported the referendum and the declaration of independence, PSOE not only that but also was in favour of the harsh Article 155 that PP applied. However in the rest of Europe this independent process is perceived as a leftist thing, when that's ridiculous, the president of Catalonia (Puigdemont) belongs to right-wing political party, but people see what they want to see.
