Hello, /pol/, today a Spanish politician from a party called VOX has proclaimed Gibraltar as Spanish territory by putting there a 18 meter flag. He has later been arrested by the English policemen. What do you think?

What do you want it for anyway? Spain has 50% youth unemployment and your entire economy is on a knife edge. You've also got two regions seeking independence. Why the fuck are your politicians worried about Gibraltar?

First post best post

What is the problem Spain? You and your countrymen are allowed to live on the rock anyway
>>77947257
Well, VOX doesn't even have representation on the Congress and no other party that i know aobut agrees with them on this issue, so you can imagine not many Spaniards are worried about Gibraltar being English, but I think the point is that it's a very profitable zone, specially for fishermen. I don't care much about it anyway, just wanted to know other opinions.

What do you expect from a country whose only territories of note are shitholes in North Africa that exist solely to allow the hordes into the Schengen Area?

>two regions seeking independence
Not even one. There is a small percentage of people in one region seeking independence. The entire economy was on a knife edge in 2007-2011 but not anymore.

>thinking he's hot shit with a wee flag

stop trying to be Argentina 2.0
Hands off, it's ours.
Ask the Argentines if this is confusing.
It's fine, because it means fuck all in reality. Just makes Vox look like a bunch of kids.

The Catalonians are fuming these days, so long as Spain keeps denying them that referendum it seals it's own fate to be inevitably broken apart.

Gibraltar is not English, it's British.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to debate Basque and Catalan nationalism with a Spaniard, but I feel you may understate the issue.
As for your recovery, we can agree there has been a recovery, but you are so vulnerable at the moment that you're one eurozone crisis away from catastrophe. Maybe the Euro wasn't such a good idea, eh?

We want the monkeys so they can stave off the depression.

The main issue here is that allowing them a referendum -which by itself is illegal- is that not only that is a pathetic yield to the independentists demands, it creates a precedent for further referendums down the line.

Madrid would just invaded if they tried anything, wouldn't be the first time catalonia was cleansed of it's toxic leftist.

It's a tax heaven, like every fucking Brit colony
It keeps expanding through our land with illegal buildings
Thinks all the Strait of Gibraltar belong to them and keep letting drug dealers enter the peninsula by not letting the Spanish police arrest them
