Quiz for the EU hypocrites: do you recognize the country below?













The EU officials exhibited again huge hypocrisy, this time on the occasion of the Catalan referendum, proving one more time that their 'wonderful' union respects 'democratic values', only when these serve the interests of the EU establishment and the Western institutions, taken over by the ruthless neoliberalism.





As the Guardian reports:





Despite calls from Catalan authorities to condemn the brutal police crackdown on their independence referendum, the EU and most member states were reluctant to respond formally, seemingly viewing the dispute as an internal Spanish matter. [...] Jean-Claude Juncker, the European commission president, has said that Brussels must abide by the decisions of the Spanish government and of Spain’s constitutional court. The commission has said on several occasions that a vote in favour of Catalan independence would be recognised but only if the referendum that produced it complied with the Spanish constitution and had been ruled legal.





How is it possible to claim that the referendum is an "internal Spanish matter" when Spain is member of the EU? The answer is simple: they don't want to take clear position against their own neoliberal puppet in Spain, called Mariano Rajoy.





But remember: some of them, or their predecessors in the EU empire, were 'screaming' about the right for self-determination for the nations of former Yugoslavia in the 90s. Who gave them the right to intervene back then (in a nation not part of the EU), following, as always, the US empire, and leading Yugoslavia into a massive bloodbath and its final dissolution?
