So, with Brexit underway and the threat of Poland leaving, now there is pressure in Spain to leave.
Spain’s far-Right Vox party is under pressure to back a Brexit-style exit from the EU, after the European Court of Justice ruled a jailed Catalan separatist leader should have parliamentary immunity.
Supporters of the populist party called for “Spaxit” on social media since EU judges in Luxembourg ruled Oriol Junqueras, who was sentenced to 13 years for sedition, should be freed.
The decision led to Carles Puigdemont, the former president of the Catalan regional government, and Antoni Comin, both of whom are living in self-imposed exile in Belgium, to be accredited as MEPs by the European Parliament,
Oh dear, how sad, never mind. This reminds me of the collapse of the Berlin wall. One small crack starts to appear and before long, the whole structure has disintegrated into a pile of rubble. Good. The sooner the better.
I’m sure that both Spain and Poland will be more than happy to enter into a trade deal with an independent UK.
So the ruling is that he should be freed.
Has he been freed? If not, why not? And if not when will he be freed?
If he is not freed then does this set the government of Spain against the law of the EU?
And Hungary.
Good luck to them. Shouldn’t it be Spexit though? Spaxit just doesn’t sound right
Oh, I dunno, I quite like it.
By “far right” do they mean “reflects majority norms”?
That’s the definition of far right these days.
I’d love to see other countries leave this socialist superstate but it won’t happen. Spain isn’t rich enough to go it alone as they get a lot more back than they put in. They also saw how disgracefully the commisars treated us and I think that will have scared them off.
Somehow “Spaxit” sounds an awful lot worse than “Brexit”.
