SPAIN AGAINST THE CATALONIA NATION -- Spanish diplomacy goes into overdrive against the November 9th referendum - VilaWeb
SPAIN AGAINST THE CATALONIA NATION
The international arena is a key factor in the Catalan sovereignty
process and it’s clear that the Spanish Government knows it. This week,
Prime Minister Rajoy's cabinet vetoed the presence of Catalan president
Artur Mas in the summit meeting of the International Francophonie
Organization (Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, OIF), a
consortium of French-speaking countries and regions. The summit is will
take place November 29th and will be attended by seventy-seven heads of
state. This is just the latest in a string of maneuvers that have come
to light that reveal the involvement of the Spanish diplomatic machine
in order to block the internationalization of the Catalan political
situation. These maneuvers have become increasingly more pronounced
since agreement was reached on the date and question for the referendum,
according to the Public Diplomacy Council of Catalonia, or DiploCAT.
