The singular moment that Catalonia is living raises many passions internal and international high expectations , but also many virulence by those powers that increasing Spanish took for granted that the country had been sufficiently successful that , beyond some outbreaks independence , our submission is granted for ever . All of these powers have realized that the docile Catalonia , Catalonia that they had enough of hearing a scream in Madrid to goodness , as children do at school when the lady says " enough " has experienced a transformation has been adult prepares for the tap by plundering suffering and become a full member of the European Union and the United Nations . And before this stage many masks have fallen and has revived the supposedly democratic Catalanophobia of broad sectors of Spanish society.

However, it is this enemy that we must keep . This enemy is fully identified and is so obsessive that discredited totalitarian one . Those who really we have to keep the powers that be is Catalan and his court sycophants who see the end of the independence of Catalonia privileges . They are people who live in our national subjugation , people who have made ​​a personal welfare at the expense of the country and now looks imminent danger so their status . It is, in short, people who for years have stirred cherries and have had no qualms making decisions that we as a people handcuffed . We are talking about Catalan surnames rennet as part of a plot designed to undermine the independence process and we should expose so , says Héctor López Bofill , " not all the enemies come from outside Catalonia ." This is, in fact , the subject of his book The plot against Catalonia ( Angle, 2013) .

Divided into six chapters , speaking of the box, the infiltrates agents against independence, democracy and entrepreneurship in the regime of immigrants and those who mobilized , Bofill book explains who is who in this story Catalan ally Madrid what maneuvers and betrayals . I must say that is a excellent book , uninhibited and deeply compelling reading , which has the power to call things by their name and answer many of the questions that the reader is on the issue .

One of the key elements of the text is " intimate dinner " held on 17 January 2006 in house publicist Leopoldo Rodes to press Arthur Mas resigned to face Spain. Among those present , besides Artur Mas and host Leopoldo Rodes , had Antonio Brufau , Chairman of Repsol YPF ( majority-owned by La Caixa ) , Jordi Mercader , president of Agbar , Javier de Godo , editor La Vanguardia and Minister for La Caixa, Juan Roig, Mercadona president , Jose Manuel Lara Bosch , President of Planet , and Josep Lluís Bonet , president of Freixenet . The activities of these characters , Spanish- Bofill explains a lot of things , but so does their organizations . La Caixa , among other things, it says : " The agreement between the monarchy and the box represents the contribution of the Francoist authorities based in Catalonia in the continuity of the structures of domination that promoted the transition , an action that was baste preserving the favorable treatment with economic strata who had been loyal to Franco , supporting media initiatives ( La Vanguardia Readings , because the naive housewives Catalan dazzled with the character frank and campechano king ) that assure the continuity of the previous hegemonies to democracy and autonomy . "

The book also speaks Catalan motorways Abertis converted into a unique business in the world at the cost of theft is the payment of tolls thrice redeemed , the bonds of Freixenet and Codorniu several members of the PSC and Franco Narcis Serra protege Juan Antonio Samaranch , who after signing his accession to the Spanish motherland , organize and involutive testosteròniques military parades and enthusiastic staff became vice president of the Spanish government and the head of Safety Catalonia .

Bofill remember " odd complaints Pasqual Maragall , Ernest Maragall , Montserrat Tura and Antoni Castells, scratch wounding more cynicism of those who assume the highest responsibilities through the spanish and never objected to proposed regionalization of Catalan Spanish when they had capacity to decide . [...] the newspaper was also the newspaper 's institutional metropolitan area , with a large rain subsidies from institutions that controlled the PSC (including Government during the tripartite ) . despite its dismal If La Vanguardia newspaper , this newspaper is still the Catalan culture as an Indian reservation , the newspaper has been involved in the removal of any reference to the imagery in Catalan popular sectors . "

Another added attraction of this essay are interesting ection exions Bofill on the path that has led to the current historical crossroads . This is one : "This system is a rampant decay and independence of Catalonia appears as the only formula to overcome the impasse and guarantee persistence of the Catalan nation . 's Mirage of modernization and Wellness had stirred conformity and opportunism under a weak self broke into a thousand pieces : the economic crisis has just revealed the most crazed Spanish imperial anxieties that had been expressed in the statutory process , by extending the growing belief in a majority citizens of Catalonia within Spain there is no progress possible dignity . "


The plot against Catalonia, Héctor López Bofill is a very healthy reading book at a time like this, when all Spanish speakers and their media allies in our work night and day manufacturer lies and throwing threats intimidate Catalan society. When the book ends , however, one realizes that they are only paper tigers when the wind s'emportarà collect the fruits of our firm .
