The French newspaper 'Le Monde', digital edition, opened with an article that accuses the Spanish media of hiding the Barcelona rally's success. In contrast to international media like the BBC and Al-Jazeera, which highlighted yesterday's huge rally in favor of Catalonia's independence, 'Le Monde' points out that in the Spanish press, coverage of the event (where some million and half people demanded independence) "seems less obvious."
'The [Spanish] conservative press, ... downplayed the events, while Catalan media offered a maximum coverage of the day'
The article also looks at the peculiar treatment of the conservative newspapers 'La Razón' and 'ABC', where news of the demonstration are nowhere to be seen, and points out how Rubio's editorial spins the facts to their own political agenda.
Le monde make its work. Because i am sure that if Catalonia take indepedence then France will show its irredentist plans! Catalans are stupid if they think that can stand alone.
'Catalans are stupid if they think they can stand alone' Utter nonsense. Anybody with a basic understanding of the fiscal arrangments between Catalunya and Spain knows that they have been subsidizing the Spanish peninsular for centuries. Look at the figures, they are available for everybody to see.
