You had 6 days and the only thing you could come up with is yet another inane attempt at labelling me a francoist.#625 October 11, 2017 - It has been a long time since I wrote,
"In my opinion, there is only one way to deal forever with the Catalan problem...
Spain should ban the teaching of Catalan language in the schools. The teaching of the Catalan history should be forbidden in schools. Ban the use of Catalan names. Ban books published in Catalan. Symbols of Catalan nationalism should be removed from public view. Change the names of the streets that are in Catalan to a Castilian name. Ban expressions of Catalan language, traditional dance and culture, and religious practice".

Let's keep in mind that Franco was determined to suppress the Catalan language. He tried to implement a cultural homogenization and failed.
But you can do something useful and translate this to English:

I will help you and quote the relevant part:
Alright, to sum it up, unilateral secession is illegal in Switzerland just the same as in Spain.¿Qué ocurriría si en algún momento un cantón pretendiera separarse de la Confederación o adherirse a un país vecino? No podría proceder como lo ha hecho Cataluña, sostiene David Hesse, el autor del artículoEnlace externo. “La Constitución Federal enumera explícitamente los 26 cantones que conforman el Estado. Eliminar uno de ellos requeriría una enmienda constitucional y esta tendría que ser sometida a votación nacional”, o sea, a todos los ciudadanos suizos.
It must really suck when each and every one of your arguments is revealed to be complete garbage at one point or another.
Besides that, we will impatiently wait for your condemnatin of the UK for definitvely siding with the opressors!

German Investors Tell Catalan Separatists They Deserve Prison
Catalan lawmakers must accept the legal consequences if they refuse to obey Spanish law, the head of an association for German executives in the region said.
“We want a strong Catalonia, we invested here and we want security,” Albert Peters, chairman of the Barcelona-based Circle of German-Speaking Businessmen in Catalonia, told Onda Cero radio in an interview Wednesday. “Everyone must comply with the constitution, and if not, then that person should be taken to court.”
Peters said he hopes the new government of Catalonia changes course after ousted President Carles Puigdemont led a drive to declare independence from Spain last year. His association represents more than 200 executives and its sponsors include firms such as BASF SE and chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli AG, according to its website.
At a tense lunch in Barcelona on Tuesday, some members of the association attacked the pro-independence speaker of Catalan parliament Roger Torrent over the secession campaign. One accused the separatist leaders of trying to take Catalonia back to the middle ages and was applauded when he said they should all go to jail, according to a video of the event posted by Eldiario.es.
Torrent is trying to find an approach that doens’t clash with the constitution, Peters told Onda Cero. “I think many deputies in Catalonia have learned the lesson.”
Puigdemont and other ousted members of the Catalan government face probes for sedition and rebellion following last October’s unilateral declaration of independence. Puigdemont remains in self-imposed exile in Belgium and faces arrest if he returns to Spain.
Large German investors in Catalonia include Volkswagen AG, whose Seat unit at Martorell near Barcelona employs about 12,000 people.
The Catalan parliament is set to hold a vote on March 12 to elect the next regional president after Puigdemont announced he would step aside. The candidate put forward by Torrent is Jordi Sanchez, a former head of the pro-independence campaign group ANC who is being held in prison on remand and will need permission from a judge to stand in next week’s vote.
“The president of Catalonia has a duty to give reassurance and rebuild Catalonia,” Peters said.
I think those are some of the people who were going to fight each other to invest in Catalonia if it became independent or something like that.
