Recommended: Spanish nationalist MEP threatens Scotland and Catalonia (Paisley Daily Express)

Monday, 17 june 2013 | Paisley Daily Express
Jun 17 2013 Some excerpts: Alejo Vidal-Quadras, an MEP from Catalonia who opposes the region's independence from Spain, said France and Spain "will surely not" accept an independent Scotland, and the UK will "probably not" accept Scotland either. Mr Quadras also insists that if Catalonia holds its own independence referendum, the police will confiscate the ballot boxes. (Link here) [+]

Recommended: Scottish independence an inspiration for Catalonia (Newsnet Scotland)

Friday, 14 june 2013 | Newsnet Scotland
MONDAY, 10 JUNE 2013 By Mark McNaught Some excerpts: Catalans are truly envious of what Scotland will have: a legally binding referendum in which both sides promise to accept the results. The Spanish government refuses to even countenance the legality of a referendum, and uses all legal means at its disposal to delegitimize Catalonian independence. On the other hand, Scots do not yet have what Catalans have: overwhelming popular support for independence. Polls show at least 60% would vote ‘yes’ in a referendum, thus making independence a foregone conclusion when the referendum is held. [+]

Recommended article: Madrid's dangerous attempt to distort the history of the Spanish civil war (The Guardian)

Saturday, 8 june 2013 | The Guardian
We recommend the article "Madrid's dangerous attempt to distort the history of the Spanish civil war" by David Mathieson published in The Guardian. Some excerpts:  Explaining the past to shape the future is a basic tenet of any mature political process. Outside Spain, other European countries are increasingly able to face up to their own dark history. [...]  Yet in Madrid there is not a single information point or visitor centre attempting to tell the history of the civil war. [+]

Spagna. Fischi e buu per il principe Felipe e Letizia (RaiNews24)

Wednesday, 5 june 2013 | RaiNews24
Friday, 31 may 2013 (...) e' avvenuto a Barcellona, capitale di quella Catalogna che aspira all'indipendenza. Però è un segnale "sonoro" rivolto alla monarchia spagnola, dopo i mugugni trapelati attraverso i sondaggi che la danno in netto calo nel gradimento dei cittadini (il re e' sotto il 50 per cento) (...) a Barcellona, dove risiede la sorella secondogenita Cristina (che) non si vede in giro, soprattutto da quando e' coinvolta nell'inchiesta in cui e' imputato il marito, Inaki Urdangarin, e altre cinque persone, per una presunta appropriazione indebita di 6 milioni di fondi pubblici (.

Bon dia o 'adiós' (El Periódico)

Monday, 3 june 2013 | El Periódico
Il parlamento aragonese ha approvato il 9 maggio scorso la nuova legge linguistica secondo cui il catalano parlato in una parte della comunità autonoma – la franja – cambia nome: diventerà il LAPAO, curioso acronimo ben spiegato in quest’articolo del poeta e scrittore Jaume Subirana sul Periodico.cat, che consigliamo e presentiamo tradotto in italiano. La fobia del Partido Popular verso la lingua catalana ha come conseguenza che in tutte le comunità dove questo partito governa, si tenta in tutti i modi di combatterla arrivando a inventare nuovi nomi.
