The government of Spain is making every effort to disorganise Sunday’s referendum vote by the Catalans from seceding from Spain.
Meanwhile the forerunners of the so called countries of the free world; the United States and the United Kingdom have strongly opposed the ambitions of the Catalonians to hold a referendum, a self determination right that is recognised by the United Nations. The US over the years have positioned itself as the defender of social rights, just a few days ago at the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump echoed that the US does not wish to impose its ways of life on other countries but yet it opposes the right of the Catalonians to self determination. Also, the United Kingdom which have had its own fair share of refrendum remains opppsed to the idea of self determination while it allows two referendum, one on Scottish Independence and the other on Brexit. It is high time those who claim to be leaders of the free world to allow the world be free indeed.
