New Civil War ?
 

Surely not.

Not over Catalonia anyway, I think both parties have more common sense than let it go that far.

A somewhat inappropriate occasion to express such views anyway I would have thought. :thumbdown:

On the other hand anger and dismay is building up regarding the very limited progress in solving the crisis and unless some dramatic progress is forthcoming very soon I imagine ever increasing unrest and disturbances will become the order of the day.

Just shows how out of touch he is. Good job he´s stepping down / being replaced.
The church in Spain has too much ¨bad history¨ for people to make the same mistake. It desperately needs someone more reform minded.

The most outragious thing is that Rouco points the finger for the war squarely at the Republicans, implying that the Nationalists had no choice but to begin hostilities:

"He wanted to overcome the Civil War forever, to overcome the events and the attitudes that caused it, and which can cause it."

In reality it was Franco's failed coup d'etat which was the most important factor.

Re: New Civil War ?
 

The routes of the Spanish civi war can be traced back to decades before the revolt of the Generals of which Franco was only one part.
There is nothing going on in Spain to day that has any comparison with those times.
