Catalonia needs a leader. A leader that can bring the country together to obtain what has been taken away 300 years ago. History, repeats itself: In a manner that Catalan Independence was declare during the Spanish Republic. It did not last for two reasons; one, because there were political interest among different parties and, two, the Spanish Civil War in which the victors impose their own will destroying what the Republic has established.

The present political parties are not willing to go ahead in declaring Catalonia’s Independence. They prefer to pay homage to the Spanish leaders rather than defend Catalan’s interest. Carretero and Laporta had that vision and as long both of them have the same goals, the political party in which they belong too is, at this particular moment, totally irrelevant. In my view, Independence comes first and politics much later.
