LETTER TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARIES

Dear Mr...

Thanks for your reply

The Catalan reaction is due to at least 11 reasons: 

a) The €10000 M per year that the Spanish Government takes from us generating an 8% deficit  and the subsequent need to get  a loan from them paying an interest rate. THESE ARE PUBLIC FIGURES PUBLISHED AT LEAST FROM  2006.Hadn't the Spanish Governemnt deprived us from these funds we wouldn't have any debt.

b) Due to the mismanagement of the banking system, €60000 M have being used to save private banks increasing our public debt and generating cutbacks on health, salaries and social expenses.

c) Almost 800 Governemt officials of  the Spanish Governement have been accused  of embezzlement with very few resignations. Last month evidence related to the Gurthel case was misteriously destroyed in a fire in Valencia as you could check on the press

d) The forth reason is the propaganda and language used against us all over Spain which I had to suffer due to my job. Lies upon lies calling us scavengers, thiefs and worse things.

d)The next point  is the intent to limit the use of  Catalan as a language at schools creating a difference between Catalan and Valencian saying they are different languages. This is like saying that UK English and USA English are not  English.

e) The six factor is the use of the funds they collect from taxes. They build Fast  trains, airports and highways with no passangers and high deficits increasing the Public Debt. They assign contracts to companies which  get a compensation if the business goes bankrupt like THE HIGHWAYS IN MADRID OR THE CASTOR OIL

f)Adittionally, they DON'T INVEST ANYTHING IN CATALONIA. Even the small amount they promise to invest  they don't deliver year after year

g) When a Estatut WAS APPROVED  BY BOTH THE CATALAN AND SPANISH GOVERNMENT  in 2006 they trimmed it creating  great disatisfaction among the Catalan people.

h) The last 8 years we have tried to discuss with the Spanish Government how to reach a deal regarding financing and an accettable  deficit and they retorted with the  measures mentioned in point a).

i) When we asked for a referendum they denied us that right saying it's not legal. Any lawyer knows that it is feasible with a transitional provision.

j) And finnally they have  sent the police to beat  the people willing to vote if they want to get out of  this  dictatorship.

You know the difference between law and justice. Our situation is unfair and turning a blind eye to it doesn`t provide much credit to the European Union which desperately needs credit.

We Catalans deserve more support  from an institution which pretends to defend the rights of its members and it is just defending  unfair laws and repression.

Yours sincerely

Dr Jordi Delcor
