 Spanish court halts transfer of Catalan war papers
They are mainly official Catalan government documents from the 1930s, though some are private citizens' papers.
The dispute over the papers has gone on for years, with Catalans saying they want their history back and Salamanca -- whose conservative rulers staunchly defend Spanish national unity -- arguing that the national civil war archive should be kept intact.
Catalans gained a degree of autonomy in the early 1930s, but Franco then disbanded the regional government, the Generalitat, and quashed regional aspirations until his rule ended in 1975.

 Support the recognition of the Catalan national hockey team!!
The Catalan hockey was fooled in Fresno and the moral triumph of the decision of the CAS has taken us to Rome.
This is a big step forward for the aspiration of the Catalans to be able to compete internationally with their own teams and surely will have a great impact in the forthcoming assembly of the FIRS in which the re-admission of Catalonia as a full member will be discussed and voted again.
According to the president of the Catalan Federation of Kofball, Toni Jurado, this decision is final and there is no possible similarity to the situation that the Catalan Federation of Roller Sports suffered in the past.

 Political instability in Catalan region of Spain following election losses for ruling party
The number of IU seats in the European parliament diminished from nine to four; the number of councillors dropped from 3,493 to 2,297 and it lost 39 representatives in the regions.
The electoral losses of the more moderate Catalan nationalists of the CiU, discredited by the experiences of government and their social policies, have sounded the alarm for the Spanish bourgeoisie.
Regardless of the higher or lower sympathy anyone had with their perspective, what is undeniable is their efforts to put it forward on the basis of coexistence and good sense.

 Spain: Catalan election threatens further instability
Catalan lessons are free to immigrants, while they have to pay for Spanish lessons.
This would mean strengthening their grip on the governmental apparatus of the region, enabling them to impose wage rates and working conditions to their advantage.
In the absence of a socialist perspective to unite Catalan workers with their class brothers and sisters in the rest of Spain, France and throughout Europe, such a rejection of politics can leave the working people of the region at the mercy of a predatory and increasingly assertive regional bourgeoisie.

 newsBlog | Campaign for an English Parliament   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Catalan parliament was set on a collision course with Madrid yesterday when it voted for a new constitution that defines the region as "a nation" and seeks further political and economic autonomy from Spain.
Although it has lacked a parliament or government of its own since the Acts of Union 1536-1543, most English people still regard their nation to be a country in its own right and not merely a constituent part of the United Kingdom.
For him to have the confidence to deliver this quote in a speech at the Labour conference means that the cause against the regionalisation of England, and the concerns that many of the English have, is not even on his radar.

 newsBlog | Campaign for an English Parliament
Mr Blunkett is not, at this stage, arguing for the logical answer - an English Parliament to stand alongside the Scottish and Welsh bodies.
He dismisses the political expression of an English Parliament out of hand without providing a reason; and he rejects regionalism as well, though this time he provides a reason, namely that regions ‘do not express our sense of English identity’.
Thanks to the work of the Campaign for an English Parliament the English Question has not been buried and we should take succour from the fact that - 7 years late - it looks like they are coming around to our way of thinking.

Despite a virtually unanimous vote in the European Parliament's responsible JURI Committee and a unanimous request by the whole European Parliament in plenary, the Commission's DG Internal Market is apparently determined to destroy the directive by trying to get the EP to massively reject the directive in second reading.
The Commission's Directorate General for the Internal Market, which is responsible for the directive, has informed several parties today it has denied the EP's request for a restart of the much contested software patents directive.
FFII confirmed this information with Ms Antonia Carparelli, deputy head of Commissioner Walström's cabinet and responsible for relations with the Parliament.

Initially the government also had planned to send soldiers to Catalonia as well, but there was little need to send many, riots by Catalan nationalists there were few and far between and very localised, especially after the British bombarded Barcelona (no riots were to be found in that town).
In fact, only Sant Miguel, San Juan and Sant Rafel were still under Spanish control on the island and all 3 towns were in the interior of the island.
Finally all the peace advocates got the entire parliament to convert to their message and they petitioned the King to sue for peace.

Much of the rest can be seen with a big shift to the Catalan party at the expense of the PP.
