I'm leaving Spain today but yesterday night I saw a cool tv special arguing that an independent Catalonia would outlaw religious education which would destroy Catalan culture which is based on the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church.

E: Spain/Catalan goons how would the independence gently caress up Spain because Catalonia seems to be a huge loving money maker to the country.

Catalan independence would result in a funding gap, and could push the central government into arguing for a new structure for how tax revenue is distributed. As one of the prime beneficiaries of the current tax structure is the Basque Country, renewed separatist action from ETA would inevitably follow, and Greater Castile would decent into reactionary politics as a result. Such a state would of course be unable to deal with the challenges of climate change, both African refugees and the projected major decrease in agricultural productivity in Iberia, and disintegration into warring factions akin to what you see in Libya or Syria is a distinct possibility.

In conclusion; if Catalonia goes independent, Spain will become a hotbed of Catholic terrorists and thus it must be opposed at all cost.

I'd be skeptical of this kind of rumor. Because of strategic voting there's a big incentive to spread confusion regarding someone in Hamon's position.

Yeah the neoliberal 5th column in the PS has declared for Macron.

I say that but my only basis for it is IIRC Valls endorsing Macron a week or two ago. I'm sure there's neoliberals in the PS that have the bare minimum of principles required to back their own party's candidate in an election.

the race was a 3-way contest between LePen, Fillon and Macron as a consequence of hollande's incompetence making PS less popular than cholera. before macron got momentum the most likely second round was between a thatcherite and a fascist. but fillon's campaign imploded due to penelopegate and melanchon has been rocketing up the polls at hamon's expense so there's sort of a three-tier race: macron neck-and-neck with lepen, fillon and melanchon tied for second, and hamon at the bottom, sinking towards the towards the no-names like the two (!) trotskyists. fillon seems to have hit a floor of a little under 19% and as of a week ago melanchon plateaued just behind him, if the latter can continue/resume hoovering up hamon voters he has a shot of getting into the second round. polling predicts that whoever gets into the second round with lepen beats her. melanchon's candidacy is interesting in that he's the only candidate other than lepen who appeals to the anti-euro vote; he's threatened a 'plan b' (frexit) if the euro treaties aren't "democratically re-founded", which is a perfect piece of populist rhetoric in that it sounds vaguely radical but doesnt actually commit to anything whatsoever, so voters can project whatever eu reform or dissolution they want onto it.

I always love stuff like this, because Euroskeptics always point to how undemocratic the EU is, but if you actually try and make it more democratic you by necessity have to reduce the sovereignty of individual countries to allow it. It's the most hollow demand because no eurosceptic will ever actually go through with democratizing the EU without getting strung up by their supporters.
