The Longer the Conflict over Catalonia’s Independence Simmers, the More Dangerous it Becomes

When Catalonia’s pro-independence parties won a majority of seats in regional elections at the end of September, relations between Madrid and Barcelona reached their lowest point since the death of Spain’s dictator, Francisco Franco, in 1975. In the last few days they sank even lower.
Political Show Trial
On Thursday Catalonia’s elected premier, Artur Mas, was called to testify in Catalonia’s High Court (TSCJ) for his role in organizing a purely symbolic, non-binding referendum on national independence on Nov. 9, 2014. Mas has been charged with serious disobedience and other crimes for ignoring a court injunction against the unofficial vote, which the central government in Madrid considered illegal.
Mas was not alone as he strode to court along Passeig Lluis Companys, the Palm-lined boulevard named after the Catalan republican leader executed exactly 75 years ago to that very day (quelle coincidence!) by a Francoist firing squad. Mas was accompanied by a crowd of thousands of pro-independence supporters, including 400 town and city mayors and dozens of members of the regional executive.
