"Catalonia currently imposes 17 different taxes, and has one of the communities with the highest income taxes in the country."
"In 2012, something called Liquidity Fund for Autonomies was created to give communities access to grants and debt at almost 0% interest. Around 33% of this money has gone to Catalonia, even when they claim to be one of the richest, most innovative, civilised, and cosmopolitan regions of Spain. "
How exactly are the "porkies" that already evade taxes with ease going to bring about their tax haven agenda to fruition when they're about to unleash a predominantly Leftist region? Holding elections will not yield the results they supposedly pursue. There is no threat of a budding radical free market in Left Wing Catalonia. Those cheap loans hardly change the overall political climate at all. There is no existing movement in Catalonia for a freer economy and will not be one anytime soon.
