Watch the Money Run

In the Spanish press of Sept. 18, the coverage of the mass exodus of companies from Catalonia was given considerable attention. The President of the Spanish business leaders whose president is a Catalan has warned that a unilateral declaration of independence on the part of the regional nationalist parties would bring about a 20 to 30% drop in business activity, the closing down of major firms and their relocation in other parts of Spain so as to remain in the EU. The Generalitat insists that unilateral independence would not affect business and finance. That is another example of the falsehoods they preach. The Romantic fantasy about statehood is behind their escape to the land of OZ.
