A country named Spain – depressed

Depressed, so I feel right now, depressed, with low self-esteem, about to resign from almost everything. Even if I have to be honest this «depression» is a hangover after the anger I caught half an hour ago, when after a whole day without reading, watching or listening to any news. Suddenly when I was about to have dinner, I heard that someone in the government has come up with the idea, which so far is just an idea but any day be a reality. The bright idea is to create a «common fund» for Spanish ports. In other words, we are in the old story, solidarity to the Spanish, which basically consists of penalizing working, and subsidize the other.

no, the world does not work like that, give yourself a tour out there and you will see that the countries that work, do not put patches. If something does not work, you have to analyze the reasons, find solutions and implement them and if there really is no solution, then perhaps this is because they put there a port, shipyard or chopsticks factory was not a good idea.

But of course that requires work and responsibility in decision-making and execution
But of course it is expensive, it costs votes. It is much easier to rescue, sticks, absurd airports, and all that lot of unnecessary infrastructure are the undead of our economy, in Catalonia also have this.

It is infinitely easier to be throwing on deaf ears, subsidies, grants, credit lines. Whenever another put money. eg ports that work. So the question is, when and why I have gone from anger to depression. Very simple because looking at this scenario, the alternative option is: «you stay here» which in other words would come to be the choice that arises as the background theme of the popular consultation on 9th November.

This consultation / referendum in front which I feel uncomfortable if not deceived. With how easy it was to ask: «Do you want an independent Catalunya Yes – No»

Because they have had to conjure up not one but two questions. I see so gratuitously complicated that I do not get it.

Whichever way I gave the only explanation that I find about the two questions is a) that the results are mathematically misleading or b) any international organization get to understand it, and therefore no one can give its approval to the results.

That’s my big problem with the November referendum, the lack of clarity in the questions and the lack of clarity regarding the evaluation / quantification of the results obtained, because today no one has told me what minimum should support participation results. Or what most would be considered enough to claim further validation, because there are things that are not resolved by a simple majority and this is one of them.

Talking about this with many different people I have come to the conclusion that I am not the only one is mentally mess. Many of us feel that it is not important whether or not the Catalans want to belong to Spain. Because they do not want us there, at least that’s what their behavior suggests, that seems to have the sole purpose to grow the ranks of independence supporters.

But then you turn and look back towards home gives you depression, because I do not believe, I do not believe in those who are at the helm of this situation.

Incidentally, I’m still writing in Spanish and English because they say, what we say here speak more languages​​, also the Spanish
