That great Liberal Newspaper the Guardian has given space to Spanish Prime Minister
The article
Least we forget Rajoy
Sent Police in to physically attack voters in attempt to disrupt a referendum/
Introduced direct rule to Catalonia,.
Imprisoned Catalan leaders.
Called elections whilst suppressing opposition including the use on colour yellow by independistas.
And yet the UK newspaper that has long professed itself as the lone voice of liberalism and anti-imperialism as opposed to a fright wing and sometimes racist UK dominated media has given space to the leader of the Spanish party that many regard as the heirs of Franco.
Small wonder many have abandoned this paper and see it as little more than a Unionist paper that occasionally displays a social conscious.
The article
May backed us on Catalonia. Brexit will not break our bond
Allows Rajoy to state...
The United Kingdom is leaving the European Union, but not Europe. The aim will be to build a strategic alliance to respond to the common challenges and goals of the 21st century: job creation, migration, climate change, development, cybersecurity and terrorism.
We must not forget that the UK and Spain have always stood firm and united in their fight against the scourge of terrorism, which continues to cause great pain and which has struck both our countries this year. I am convinced that, together, we will be able to better stand up to any challenge.
Our unity can also be seen in the firmness and clarity of May’s government in the face of the events that have recently taken place in the autonomous region of Catalonia.
Britain’s stance is particularly important, as it is the cradle of parliamentarism and the rule of law. I hope that the coming regional elections in Catalonia will allow us to return to the normality and stability that our institutions require and our citizens deserve.
