Catalonian Rebellion
The referendum by the Catalan-speaking peoples of Spain
is illegitimate
and is not binding.
Any referendum that seeks to change the configuration
and/or the sovereignty of the country
will require the vote of ALL the peoples of the country.
The whole Spanish nation should have voted for the Catalan
referendum before it is binding.
If the Catalonians insist on breaking away from the country,
this act will be considered as a rebellion.
The Catalonians should have asked for a national referendum.
What they are now doing is forcing a unilateral secession,
not a bilateral one as should be.
Recall the example of Quebec.
And the decision of the Southern American States.
Right now, Italian referenda suggest
non-binding, informative call to the whole Italian Country.
Smart moves!
