The Location of Catalan and Spanish Basques is optimal to exert pressure on Spain because:
Catalonia and the Basque Country are the only two routes of access (Railway and Highway) to France, and therefore to Europe. The North, 80 miles, to the Biarritz, Toulouse and Narbonne,
Highway are impassable for ecological reasons. A decision of France.
REGIONS
OF france: THE french SOLUTION
FranceCatalans in France. Department of East - Pyrénées. Integrated in the Region of Languedoc-Roussillon,
The Basque Country in France. Department of Atlantic-Pyrénées. Integrated in the Region of Aquitaine
In 1640 Louis XII annexed the Catalans who lived north of the Pyrenees, where Montpellier cities as significant as the birthplace of James I the Conqueror and Perpignan was the capital city of the Kingdom of Majorca. Later, in 1700 Louis XIV imposed the French Language and joined the French State. His grandson Philip V did the same in Spain.

Map of Europe
in 2013
In France there are no problems with Catalans or Basques and Spain. Yes. Why?
The History of France and Spain, like the history of Europe has been hectic and storming since the year 1640 until today.
Stories, Lies and Myths are expressed at the end of these page. See Links.

Rossellon The Languedoc Region has three Departments: Eastern Pyrenees, Aude and Heraut
- The Eastern Pyrénées Department, formerly Catalan is divided into six Districts: Alta Cerdanya, Capeir, Conflent, Vallespir, Roussillon and Fenolheda.
THE REGIONS AND
DEPARTMENTS OF METROPOLITAN FRANCE: THE FRENCH SOLUTION
The French Catalans are integrated in the Region Languedoc-Roussillon. East-Pyrénées Department
In The French Basque Region Aquitaine. The Department in the Western Pyrenees
Normandy. The Normans or Norsemen, [now Norway and Denmark] settled in this region in the year 1066 when they invaded England, founded a dynasty and filled England withNorman Castles, including Windsor and the Tower of London.
In 1956 Normandy was divided into two regions Low Normandy and High-Normandy. As can be seen on this map of France.
For centuries Aquitaine. belonged to the King of England. In the Twelfth Century. Eleanor of Aquitaine, Duchess of Aquitaine, married Henry II King of England and Duke of Anjou, which gave rise to the hundred year war which shall be continued Fifteenth Century, enabling the English to conquer Paris. Joan of Arc the Maid of Orleans helped to boost the morale of the French, and, the artillery was used properly by Louis XII, the King of France. It was used for the first time against the Castles.
The Kings of England during this period were the Dukes of Normandy, Anjou and Aquitaine, and theoretically should have bowed to the King of France. But they did not.
These and other regions of France are as important as Catalonia and the Basque Country but they do not close the route of access to France and Europe.These Spanish Regions, Catalonia and the Basque Country, authentic Troy1 and Troy2, they are going more and more in this direction due to there geographical position and the corruption and social policy in Madrid and the rest of Spain. As all the Communities and their respective leaders would like to be the same as Catalonia, which is impossible, as they do not have privileged geographical position in the Iberian Peninsula, and such an important regional language like Catalan, which imposes it language on their region and those who live there.

| José Ortega y Gasset.(1883-1955) |
"When in Spain we speak of reconciliation and consensus , there is certanly a booty to share" . José Ortega y Gasset
And what a booty! Invent the rule of autonomy to divide Spain and carve it up as spoils . Institutionalize corruption, the pitch and the covenant with predatory financial elites and monopolists who , along with nepotism and incompetence , is their main identity .
Fhoto. Spanish philosopher and essayist, a leading exponent of the theory of perspectivism and vital reason ( ratiovitalism ) and historically situated in the Novecentismo movement .
Torcuato Fernández- Miranda and Hevia. When he stopped being President of the Parliament, he did not stand for any party in the 1977 elections. H.M. King Juan Carlos I distinguished him the title of Duke of Fernandez-Miranda and gave hin the Golden Fleece , the maximun condecoration of knigthood and it was the first title of Knighthood that the King has given during his reign.

| Torcuato Fernández-Miranda y Hevia |
His participation as Royal Senator in the debate of the Constitution is as relevant as ignored, and when he disagreed with Title VIII, the Territorial Organization of Spain in Regions, Communities and Nationalities a message was sent by the group which he had joined which said. << shut up or leave >>. And he left.
Adolfo Suárez had the backing of King Juan Carlos in order to dismiss Fernández-Miranda from the Constitucional Group.
That is why King Juan Carlos is in charge of the Constitution.

REGIONS, COMMUNITIES AND NATIONALITIES IN SPAIN: THE SPANISH SOLUTION
There are 17 Communities, Regions or Nationalities and two Autonomous Cities. What a Mess!!.
Spain is divided into Regions, Communities or Nations, with different names for each regions, communities or nationalities and their leaders the same. In which there are four official languages and each Region makes it obligatory to speak this language in their Region.
Is Catalonia a community, a Region, or nationality?, what is it?. For Catalan nationalists is a Nation, for the rest of Spain it is Spanish.Region.
The Catalan and Basque problem has arisen because of its geographical position. It controls the only
two viable ways routes of access from Spain to France, by Motorway and Railway, with a distance of over 350 Miles between them.
two viable ways routes of access from Spain to France, by Motorway and Railway, with a distance of over 350 Miles between them.
In Spain the Political Parties voted with closed lists and elected, 350 Members of Parliament and 208 Senators. And they have supported leftist Catalan or Basque separatist in the destruction of the Spanish State. The far right or the Catholic Church have also, in their own interest worked in their own way. What a Mess!!!
These destructive forces. Catalan and Basque Separatists, the far left or the far right and the Catholic Church have prevented and prevent democratic normality in Spain. And we need to have a Providential Head of State who will save us from disunity and chaos.
Francisco Franco with an authoritarian regim and King Juan Carlos with a democratic regim have failed to integrated Catalonia and Basque Country in Spain, so that each citizens has the same rights, being equal to the rest of Spain. We are neither free not equal. What a Mess.
In 1978 the Spanish Constitution in Article 2 defines "The indisoluble unity of the Spanish Nation, the common and indivisible Homeland of all Spaniards". And it also chops Spain into Communities, Regions and Nations with diferent names and vehicular languages, both in the schools and the Public Administration.
Catalonia could be divided into two Communities. Western Catalonia, (Tarragona, Lérida) and Eastern Catalonia (Barcelona, Gerona). The Spanish Language Vehicular language in School and Public space. In private every citizen can speak the language they want.
France divided Normandy in two Regions. Lower Normandy and Upper Normandy, of which Caen and Rouen are the Capitals.
United States divided Virginia in two States: West Virginia, and Virginia, of which Charleston and Richmond, are the Capitals.
Spain should divide Catalonia in two Regions : West Catalonia: (Tarragona Lerida) and East Catalonia (Barcelona y Lérída).
The ancient Greeks had a only one Troy. Spain has two Troys : Catalonia and the Basque Country. The solution is to give Catalonia and the Basque Country the same freedom and rights as the Catalans and the Basques in France until 1700 they were the same, and of course the same Region and belonged to Spain. And of course they had the same official language: Spanish.
These are some basic ideas. There are many others, such as electoral reform, and fiscal equality, ...
