“Spain is a totally indissoluble nation. In case of threat of fracture
or separatism, according to article number 8 of the Spanish Constitution, we
have to guarantee the integrity of the territory. Therefore, it is our opinion
that we have to declare a state of war, exception, or siege.” This is the
opinion of the president of the Spanish Military Association (AME), Royal
Logistics Colonel Leopoldo Muñoz Sánchez, regarding the independence process in
Catalonia.
That’s how Colonel Muñoz expresses his opinion on behalf of one of the
three largest military associations of Spain, in a documentary about the
political process of Catalonia shown in the Dutch television channel “Niewsur”.
The leader of the AME, then, would choose to suspend, not only the Catalan
institutions (as European Parliament vice-president Alejo Vidal Quadras has
suggested), but the exercise of constitutional rights by the citizens of
Catalonia, controlling them through a military authoritarian regime.
This is the nth hostile assessment by the Spanish
military against a potential independence of Catalonia, which they want to
oppose manu militari. In fact, one of the other main associations of Spanish
active military, AMARTE, insisted, through their October news bulletin, the
army's duty of “maintaining Spain's sacred unity.”
