Heraclitus argued that you lot could non footstep twice into the same river. Castilian too High German regime are working difficult to essay out the philosopher wrong. In 1940, Catalan President-in-exile, Lluis Companys, was traveling inwards Europe. He wanted to remain inwards Paris because his boy was at that spot inwards the hospital. High German regime caught him too extradited him to Espana where he was executed.
It's 2018 too Carles Puigdemont, the 130th President of Catalonia too Catalans' top leader right now, was de facto expelled from his Earth past times the Castilian trouble forces – which were clearly unaffected past times the fascists' loss inwards 1945.
He traveled from Republic of Finland to Kingdom of Belgium – through Kingdom of Denmark too Germany. Castilian crouts convey charged him alongside sedition, rebellion, disobedience, heresy, too blasphemy – upwardly to xl years inwards prison theater – too mayhap fifty-fifty political incorrectness – 400 years inwards prison. All countries could convey caught him but it just happens that it was the Gestapo (or Stasi or what is the exact cite they are using these days) i time once to a greater extent than that did it. Is it a coincidence? I don't mean value so. There's roughly clear designing of conduct that couldn't convey been eliminated past times Adolf Hitler's suicide. Several larger, "ambitious" nations similar that only don't desire to permit whatever analogous sovereignty to smaller ones – too they ofttimes squad upwardly too role real fell tools to brand certain that they command the neighbors.
What is especially shocking is a comparing of the vigor alongside which Puigdemont was arrested today; too the consummate indifference alongside which hardcore criminals such equally Anis Amri, the Christmas 2016 Berlin truck killer, were ignored. And go certain that Anis Amri is just a major instance – at that spot convey been tons of similar, less famous examples.
Seconds after Puigdemont's machine crossed the Danish-German border, the Department of the Gestapo for Superhighways arrested him because equally a democratically elected leader, he dared to defend a yell for that every sane European is aware of: Catalans are a dissimilar field than the Spaniards too most of the people inwards the tell of the same cite desire too deserve independence. Even cops who should cheque the drivers' speed were included into this operation.
Compare it alongside Anis Amri. He stole machine inwards Tunisia too was convicted when he was already inwards Europe. In Italy, he spent iv years inwards half dozen prisons for diverse robberies. Once inwards Germany, he was selling drugs inwards a notorious park, using 4-12 dissimilar identities at diverse points, visiting famous Islamic terrorists too radical preachers, too many other things. The regime were basically aware of all these things but they idea it was fine. Before Christmas 2016, he stole a Polish truck too killed xi people. On the scene, he left his ain passport too said "Allahu Akbar" too "Auf Wiedersehen". Germans didn't desire to violate the privacy of this Übermensch too then they convey ignored the passport for 2 days too allowed the volume killer to bask his favorite places inwards Berlin – after the terrorist attack. The cops on the superhighways were waving his hands to greet the Übermensch. Only when he crossed to Italy, the Italian cops had the decency to enquire him to exhibit his documents too shoot him dead.
High German politicians too those inwards the European Union may sometimes claim that their Earth is democratic too cares well-nigh freedom, human rights, too European values. But i shouldn't attention whether they verbalize the talk; what matters is whether they walk the walk. And their acts speak a clear language. Contemporary Deutschland is eager to encourage people such equally the Islamic volume killers too laid on those who yell for out that Islam doesn't belong to Europe; but the right of self-determination for a civilized European field through their democratically too peacefully elected leader is just the variety of a threat that they're most terrified by, too they won't hesitate to create novel gas chambers inwards companionship to create produce against these actual European values.
I promise that the High German courtroom volition at to the lowest degree gratis Puigdemont now, to exhibit that Heraclitus was at to the lowest degree partially right. But I convey roughly doubts. Republicanism was partly imposed on Deutschland after the Earth lost inwards 1918. fifteen years later, Hitler restored a full-blown empire. After 1945 or 1949, republic was also assort of imposed on (West) Deutschland past times others. And Deutschland may go willing to openly terminate the democratic post-war era.
