Secession Speakeasy 158 (Public House Edition): Catalonia successfully extracting itself from Spain?!

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments in Catalonia over the last several months where the Catalan Separatists, in particular Carles Puigdemont and his party, have wrenched extremely significant concessions out of Pedro Sanchez’s socialist government in Madrid. Are these concessions slowly but surely turning Catalonia into a de-facto independent country? What do these developments say about what is likely in both Spain and Catalonia’s near-future?

From Steal to Secession AM - Ep. 52: The Changing Path of Scottish Nationalism

Professor Wall welcomes back Scottish Nationalist academic Dr. Paul Gilfillan, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the developments unfolding in the British Isles. Is the growing realization of the ineffectiveness of elections among the populace, the rising untenability of the domestic situation and the stark dysfunction of the Westminister government opening up new opportunities for independence for the various nations under the British Empire? What does the contrast between the rising popularity for Scottish Independence and the stagnating or declining support for the Scottish National Party say about the situation in Scotland? Could the separation of Northern Ireland from Britain or the Faroe Islands from Denmark play a big role in getting Scottish Nationalism to a new level on the path to independence?
