CATALONIA: A REGION EAGER FOR INDEPENDECE
Class:H2D Name: Brenda and Anita Instructor: Tr. Lisa
A:Hello, everyone A:I'm Anita from senior2D.
B:And I'm Brenda from senior2D.
B: Today, we are going to briefly introduce the background of conflicts in Catalonia and talk about the current situation by a role play.
A: Catalonia was first declared independence back in 937, but has lost its sovereignty after Spain was united by the kingdom of Castilla and Aragon.
B: It's culture, however, differs a lot from Spain's.
A: It also has its own congress and independent government, but still is under control of the Spanish government.
B: The reasons why the Spanish government refused to let Catalonia become a fully independent country include the completeness of the land and economic impacts.
A: For example, the population in Catalonia is about 15% of that in Spain, but it accounts for 20% of Spain's GDP and 25% of export. Catalonia is an essential contributor to the economy of the whole country.
B: Moreover, its agricultural advantages, industrial development, tourist attractions and soccer clubs are crucial to the country, such as the Football Club Barcelona and RCD Espanyol.
A: Now we're going to demonstrate the situation by a short skit.
C:We want to be independent.
S:No,you can't.
C:Why can't we? We want to protect our own history and language.
S: Forty percent of the electricity in our country is supplied by the power plant in your region. If you are independent, we are going to face energy crisis. Do you have the heart to see the people in our country facing such a serious problem?
C:What you need to deal with is not my business! But we still hesitate if we really need to be separated from you for our own history and language. It is said that if we are independent;many enterprises may move their companies elsewhere because we will be no longer a member of the EU, and the assistance we get from the central government and the European central bank will no longer be provided. It's really a difficult decision.
S:Yes,besides, if you use new currency, you also have to face the risk of inflation. Moreover, you can't join Soccer Spain after that, which will bring a serious impact on your PE development.
C: Now that we have conducted a vote, so we suppose that there should be peace talks or chances to discuss about our rights and sovereignty.
S: If your regional government don't step down or make a declaration of not splitting out of Spain, we the central government will directly rule the area and dismiss your congress.
C: Catalonia only hopes for a chance to have peaceful discussions with the Spanish government, and we will never give up on pursuing independence.
S: The due date has come, and there is no sign for Catalonia making a decision…
B: The current status is putting Catalonia into a dilemma, but people aren't giving up on their rights and freedom.
A: Even though forming a new country can be controversial, the two groups should take every opportunity to communicate.
B: We believe that taking advantage of or threatening each other isn't the solution and hope that they can gradually reach an agreement, Thx~
