Evaluate The Arguments Against Catalan Declaration Of Independence In Ireland

Politically, Spain and Venezuela are different in that Venezuela is a federal republic and a socialist state that has a president and constitution while Spain is a kingdom with a constitutional monarch, which is governed by a parliamentary democracy. Whereas the Venezuelan president rules the country, “… there is virtually no economic base independent of the government-controlled petroleum sector to sustain mobilization by the political opposition, nor resources to maintain an independent press to get their message out. Moreover, the current regime controls all branches of government, including the electoral court and voting registries, which appear to have been used to generate multiple electoral irregularities in recent elections.” Ellis

How far does the disaster of 1898 account for the growth of Catalan and Basque nationalism?

This crisis was a turning point for the Republic which saw the influence of the Communists vastly increase. The main political casualty of the May Days was Largo Cabellero, who had always been opposed to the Communist interference, especially when it had been influenced so heavily by Stalin and the USSR. So great was his hatred of the Communist interference that he once famously sent out the Soviet Ambassador, Rosenberg, from a Cabinet meeting as he tried to impose the will of the Soviets in January 1937. After the events of the May Days Cabellero had little choice but to resign, and give way to Negrin, who some historians argue was a mere pawn of the wishes of the Communists. Even if this was the case, the Republic became more unified under Negrin, even if the underlying ideological differences still existed. With Communist influence in the government, Stalin was still willing to send the aid that was essential to the survival of the republic, while the Popular Army also emerged from the fighting in Barcelona as it was finally accepted a well trained force was needed; no longer could the Republic rely on the scrappy little militias to fend off the advances of the Nationalist forces. Although this move was damaging for the morale of many revolutionaries it was a necessary step that could not be put off much longer.. As a result of this, it could be argued

To begin with, the Basques have wanted independence for years. They say that they had more autonomy in a time where they had a system called the fueros. In this system the balance of power was tipped towards regional councils and not Madrid. The councils could tax the people, send soldiers to serve the Spanish crown, review laws enacted by the national government, and commute death sentences that were passed by the national government ("Basque Country"). After the first Carlist War, the fueros system pretty much ended. Power was transferred from the regions to Madrid and in 1856 Madrid

The Basque Separatist Conflict began most likely in 1937, during the Spanish war between groups that lived in Spain, General Francisco Franco called on his friends Nazi Germany and Italy to launch an attack on the Basque town of Guernica. Franco ordered to punish the Basques for their support of the Republican cause. Two years later, Franco declared victory and became mean ruler of Spain. The punishment of the Basque people continued making the Basque feel like outlaws.

The Basque region is in the northern part of Spain and Southern France. The Basque language is completely different from any other language. Neither the language nor physical characteristics of the people are comparable to any other culture, and not similar to French or Spanish. The Basque people are mostly in Northern Spain and therefore are perceived for the most part, as a part of Spain. In 1492 when the Catholic monarchies led the conquest of Spain, they found that the Basque had a completely separate culture from the Spanish. Because of this they allowed them political autonomy and rights to protect their culture. In 1876 the Spanish government abolished these. This was the start of the Basque Nationalist Party, whose goal was to preserve the rights of the Basque people. Because the Spanish took their rights away, it created negativity between them starting in the 1800’s. Then in 1939 Francisco Franco came to power in Spain. Under Franco, the Basque people suffered great losses of their rights. They were banned from the use of their language and other cultural practices. While Franco was in power the new Basque nationalist group was formed. University students founded the ETA (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna) in 1959. ETA stands for Basque fatherland and liberty. These students did not believe that the Basque Nationalist party was doing enough. They saw their people suffering under Franco and wanted more to be done. They started by using small amounts of violence to get the

The Declaration of Independence was written on a strong foundation of structuring the nation that we live in, securing a certain number of inalienable rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps what the authors had in mind was to personally interfere with people’s lives to secure these inalienable rights, but that has certainly changed in our society based on economic, political, and social changes. The government should protect these rights for the people because we have thrived as a nation because of feelings of security, prosperity, and nationalism. As our population grows on a steep incline, our population consists of more diverse and outgoing political believers. If the government were to interfere to secure out

The Spanish government has expressed complete opposition towards the foreign fighters phenomenon. Spain is aware of the massive negative impact that these foreign fighters have on national and worldwide security. Spain has clearly expressed the consequences that they will implement on those Spanish

The death penalty has been used for 2000 years and had only been brought to light to be abolished after the Second World War and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was only until the 1980s where many countries had started to abolish the death penalty. This essay will cover why the death penalty is not an effective form of punishment by looking at deterrence/recidivism, rehabilitation and incarceration as well as human rights. The punishment theories of incapacitation, deterrence and ‘just deserts’ will also be discussed in relation to the death penalty.

There has been rising tensions in Spain as a region of it wants to secede putting economic growth in jeopardy. Harriet Alexander points out that Catalonia initially was an independent nation, with its own set of language, laws and customs. However their prosperity lasted till the reign of King Philip V. where, The War of Spanish Succession declined with the defeat of Valencia in 1707, then of Catalonia in 1714, and ending with the last of the islands in 1515. The conflicts that it inflicted promoted the birth of modern day Spain. Moreover she states that the Catalonia is the industrial core of Spain and considers it to be the most wealthiest regions. It contributes 19% of Spain’s GDP and can cost 20% of Spain’s economic output if secession

The Spanish government is claiming that the secession vote is actually unconstitutional and thus, they have the authority to do such drastic measures. They “confiscated” over ten million unfilled ballot papers and arrested 13 officials, including the secretary general of economic affairs for Catalonia (Rolfe and McAuley). Because of this Catalonia retaliated by putting the ballot online for voters to print out and take to the polls themselves. They have also used “stopgap measures” such as supervising payments in Catalonia to make sure that no government money is used for the vote. They also delayed the vote on the 2018 Spanish budget potentially in order to free up more money to give to Catalonia to make them give up the referendum. In order to halt proceedings, the Spanish Interior Ministry even sent four ships with 4,000 police to three different ports in Catalonia to prevent the vote. Moreover, as actions by both governments and citizens have escalated tensions between both sides have flared resulting in open protests. Critics of Catalonia question whether the vote is just because it does not have the approval of the Spanish government, unlike how the Scottish referendum in 2014 had the British government’s full approval. Also, they accuse the Catalonia government of misleading its people and creating the standoff with the Spanish government. On the other

Although the language is slowly being reintroduced to communities, repression continues because they do not enjoy any political unity, but rather an excess of political institutions and functions. Therefore, the Basques are deeply dissatisfied with both their lack of territorial unity and the inferior status of their language, as well as frustrated by the lack of a more participatory democracy. It is said that, “The Basques on either side of the Franco-Spanish border vote in elections for no fewer than a dozen different institutions,” (Astrain 6). They want to maintain their cultural integrity and be able to decide their own future, but this is increasingly difficult when there is no cohesion. Furthermore, the Basque Country has never been taken into consideration

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are self- governing sensors that are widely distributed in the respective environment. They are also referred as wireless sensor and actuator networks (WSAN). They are used to observe physical or environmental conditions, for example, temperature, sound, natural activities etc. They collect data from each active node and pass it to the network to the centralized location. There are many flaws occurred in wireless sensor network like user authentication as well as data travel in the network is not so much secure. We are developing a technique in which firstly we are allowing the user to pass the hard security authentication scheme and then the user can join the network. Further we are also providing a secure file transmission in network via public and private key concept. In this way we maintain the secure and authenticated transmission of data in predescribed environment.

The actions of Seguridad can be attributed to the state of Spain as per article five of the Draft Articles on State Responsibility. Seguridad, although not an organ of Spain, was empowered by the law of

Its prosperous development of economy also draws labours from the rest of the state. However, Catalans do not have the control of their own wealth. Every year Catalonia is taxed for about €20 billion, about 10% of Catalonia’s GDP, by the Spanish government and never return back as social investments (Srmava, 2014). The Spanish government use that money to subsidise other poorer regions. Staying in Spain now become a brake to the development of Catalonia’s economics. The hypothesis for partition of Belgium is based on the similar story. The state is divided by language and history and economics inequality into Flanders and Wallonia.
