The five biggest lies of the non-campaign
(version in english from the original) Versión en español
In the debate on the referendum and the process towards independence, unionism has spread some statements that are lies, easy lies to contrast. We offer you the five thickest and the links that will be used to prove to anyone that they are false.
1. The referendum is a crime and is illegal
That is a lie. Leaving aside the fact that the referendum is protected by the Law of the Referendum on Self-determination of the Parliament of Catalonia, even with the penal code and the Spanish legal system making a referendum can not be considered a crime.
Here you will find the first article of the preliminary title of the Spanish penal code. It says: 'No action or omission shall be punished unless it is foreseen as a crime by law prior to its perpetration.'
The call for a referendum has not only been defined as a criminal offense but has been evident - both in the Spanish Congress and the Spanish Constitutional Court - that it is not. The PP changed the criminal code through the arbitration law, in 2003, to try to entice the Basque president. This reform of the penal code was annulled by the Constitutional Court and also by the congress on the initiative of the then Prime Minister, Rodríguez Zapatero.
2. The right of self-determination does not exist anywhere in the world
That is a lie. The right of self-determination is contained in the first article of the Charter of the
United Nations:
To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace
but above all in the two conventions of the UN formulated in 1966 and known as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. These rules, which states are obliged to respect, include the same text in the first article:
All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
An habitual lie of former Minister García-Margallo is that there are only three constitutions in the world that speak of the right of self-determination. This is utterly false. There are thirty-eight constitutions which refer to the right of self-determination and invoke it as a source of legitimacy. Examples include the nine states of the twenty-eight of the European Union: Germany, Croatia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, France, Hungary, Latvia and Portugal. Here you can find all the references.
3. Spain can not accept the referendum on self-determination because it is prohibited by the constitution.
Lie. The Spanish constitution, in article 10.2, says:
The rules regarding the fundamental rights and the freedoms that the Constitution recognizes will be interpreted in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the treaties and the international agreements on these matters ratified by Spain.
and in article 96 adds:
The valid international treaties will be part of the internal regulations once they have been officially published in Spain. Its provisions may only be repealed, modified or suspended in the manner provided for in the treaties themselves or in accordance with the general rules of international law.
On September 28, 1976 the Spanish government ratified the two UN conventions mentioned earlier. Let's remember what they say in the first article:
All peoples have the right to self-determination. By virtue of this right they freely determine their political status and also seek for their economic, social, and cultural development.
The ratification (you will find it here), signed by Juan Carlos, says:
I approve and ratify everything that is available, and I promise to comply, observe and enforce and observe in all its parts in a timely manner.
Consequently, Spain is forced to comply and observe the right of self-determination of the people, since it can not repeal the obligation imposed by the UN and accepted by the signing of the conventions.
4. Catalonia has never been independent. It is autonomy because it was decided by the Spanish constitution and, therefore, it has no historical rights that can be invoked
That is a lie. The historical rights of Catalonia are indisputable. Until 1714, Catalonia was not part of any entity that could relate to what is today Spain. The Catalan-Aragonese crown was a federal state that included territories of the Iberian and Italic peninsulas, the islands of the Mediterranean and the continent itself. In 1714 Catalonia was incorporated into force within the Spanish monarchy. But since then independence has been proclaimed four times:
- Between 1810 and 1812, the Principality was a completely independent state, which had a close relationship with the French Empire.
-On March 1873, the Diputació de Barcelona proclaimed the Catalan state, which included the four provinces of the Principality and the four Balearic and Pitiüses islands. This state was integrated into the borning first Spanish republic.
-In 1931 and 1934 the Republican Generalitat proclaimed the Catalan Republic. Francesc Macià did it on April 14, 1931, a few hours before Madrid was proclaimed the Spanish republic. Three days later, Macià accepted that the Catalan Republic was part of the Spanish. Lluís Companys also proclaimed the Catalan Republic on October 6, a proclamation that was aborted militarily by the Spanish republic.
But the most important argument is that it is impossible for the source of legitimacy of the Generalitat de Catalunya to be the Spanish constitution, taking into account that the Generalitat was restored by Spain before the constitution existed.
The restoration of the Generalitat is made by Royal Decree Law 41/1977 of October 5 (you will find it here), which recognizes the legitimacy of President Josep Tarradellas, the president elected by the institutions of the republic. The Spanish constitution was not approved until December 29, 1978, which is when published in the BOE: the Generalitat of Catalonia has been operating for more than a year.
5. Independence can not be achieved through a unilateral referendum and without agreement with Spain
Another lie. Between 1905 and 1991, 52 substantive entities such as Catalonia made referendums of independence. And since 1991, 53 more have been done. Therefore, in just over a century there have been 105 referendums of independence. Of these 53 referendums made since 1991, 26 have been unilateral. Since 1991, 27 states have become independent in the world, the vast majority with unilateral referendums. 7 of these states today form part of the European Union: Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. (Here you will find a list of independence referendums.)
Finally, following the unilateral independence of Kossove, a historic ruling from the International Court of Justice (which you can find here) made it clear that international law did not contain any prohibition that could be used to stop a unilateral declaration of independence.
In the debate on the referendum and the process towards independence, unionism has spread some statements that are lies, easy lies to contrast. We offer you the five thickest and the links that will be used to prove to anyone that they are false.

Las 5 mentiras más gordas de la campaña del no
(versión en castellano del original) version in english
1. El referéndum es un delito y es ilegal
Eso es mentira. Obviando el hecho de que el referéndum está amparado por la Ley del Referéndum de Autodeterminación del Parlamento de Cataluña, incluso con el código penal y el ordenamiento jurídico españoles hacer un referéndum no puede ser considerado delito.
Aquí encontrará el artículo primero del título preliminar del código penal español. Dice: 'No será castigada ninguna acción ni omisión que no esté prevista como delito por ley anterior a su perpetración.'
La convocatoria de un referéndum no sólo no ha sido definida como delito en el código penal, sino que se ha puesto de manifiesto tanto en el congreso como al Tribunal Constitucional españoles- que no lo es. El PP cambió el código penal por medio de la ley de arbitraje, en 2003, para tratar de encausar el presidente vasco. Esta reforma del código penal fue anulada por el Tribunal Constitucional y también por el congreso a iniciativa del primer ministro de entonces, Rodríguez Zapatero.
2. El derecho de autodeterminación no existe en ninguna parte del mundo
Eso es mentira. El derecho de autodeterminación es recogido en el artículo primero de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas:
Desarrollar entre las naciones unas relaciones amistosas basadas en el respeto al principio de la igualdad de derechos de los pueblos y de su derecho a la libre determinación, y tomar todas aquellas medidas apropiadas a fortalecer la paz universal [...]
pero sobre todo en las dos convenciones de la ONU formuladas en 1966 y conocidas con el nombre de Pacto Internacional de Derechos Civiles y Políticos y Pacto Internacional de Derechos Económicos. Estas normas, que los estados se obligan a respetar, incluyen el mismo texto en el artículo primero:
Todos los pueblos tienen el derecho de autodeterminación. En virtud de este derecho, determinan libremente su condición política y proveen también por su desarrollo, económico, social y cultural.
Una mentira habitual del ex-ministro García-Margallo es que sólo hay tres constituciones en el mundo que hablan del derecho de autodeterminación. Esto es rotundamente falso. Hay treinta y ocho constituciones que hacen referencia al derecho de autodeterminación y la invocan como fuente de legitimidad. Son ejemplos las de nueve estados de los veintiocho de la Unión Europea: Alemania, Croacia, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Estonia, Francia, Hungría, Letonia y Portugal. Aquí puede encontrar todas las referencias.
3. España no puede aceptar el referéndum de autodeterminación porque lo prohíbe la constitución
Mentira. La constitución española, en el artículo 10.2, dice:
Las normas relativas a los derechos fundamentales y a las libertades que la Constitución reconoce se interpretarán de conformidad con la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos y los tratados y acuerdos internacionales sobre las mismas materias ratificados por España.
y en el artículo 96 añade:
Los tratados internacionales válidamente celebrados formarán parte del ordenamiento interno una vez publicados oficialmente en España. Sus disposiciones sólo podrán ser derogadas, modificadas o suspendidas en la forma prevista en los propios tratados o de acuerdo con las normas generales del derecho internacional.
El 28 de septiembre de 1976 el gobierno español ratificó los dos convenios de la ONU mencionados antes. Recordemos que dicen en el artículo primero:
Todos los pueblos tienen el derecho de autodeterminación. En virtud de este derecho establecen libremente su condición política y proveen también por su desarrollo, económico, social y cultural.
La ratificación (la encontrará aquí), firmada por Juan Carlos, dice:
Apruebo y ratifico todo lo que se dispone, prometiendo cumplirlo, observarlo y hacer que se cumpla y observe puntualmente en todas sus partes.
En consecuencia, España está obligada a cumplir y observar el derecho de autodeterminación de los pueblos, pues no puede derogar la obligación impuesta por la ONU y aceptada con la firma de las convenciones.
4. Cataluña nunca ha sido independiente. Es una autonomía porque lo decidió la constitución española y, por tanto, no tiene derechos históricos que pueda invocar
Mentira. Los derechos históricos de Cataluña son indiscutibles. Hasta en 1714 Cataluña no formaba parte de ninguna entidad que pueda relacionarse con esto que hoy es España. La corona catalanoaragonesa era un estado federal que incluía territorios de las penínsulas ibérica e itálica, de las islas del Mediterráneo y del continente mismo. En 1714 Cataluña fue incorporada a la fuerza dentro de la monarquía española. Pero desde entonces ha proclamado la independencia en cuatro ocasiones:
-Entre el 1810 y el 1812, el Principado fue un estado completamente independiente, que mantenía una relación estrecha con el Imperio francés.
-El mes de marzo de 1873 la Diputación de Barcelona proclamó el estado catalán, que incluía las cuatro provincias del Principado y las cuatro islas Andalucía. Este estado se integró en la naciente primera república española.
-El 1931 y 1934 la Generalitat republicana proclamó la república catalana. Francesc Macià lo hizo el 14 de abril de 1931, pocas horas antes de que en Madrid se proclamara la república española. Tres días después, Macià aceptó que la república catalana fuera parte de la española. Lluís Companys también proclamó la república catalana el 6 de octubre, proclamación que fue abortada militarmente por la república española.
Pero el argumento más importante es que es imposible que la fuente de legitimidad de la Generalidad de Cataluña sea la constitución española, si se tiene en cuenta que la Generalitat fue restaurada por España antes de existir la constitución.
La restauración de la Generalitat se hace por el Real Decreto Ley 41/1977 de 5 de octubre (disponible aquí), que reconoce la legitimidad del presidente Josep Tarradellas, presidente elegido por las instituciones de la república. La constitución española no se aprobó hasta el 29 de diciembre de 1978, que es cuando se publica en el BOE: la Generalitat de Cataluña ya funcionaba desde hacía más de un año.
5. La independencia no se puede conseguir con un referéndum unilateral y sin acuerdo con el estado español
Mentira. Entre 1905 y 1991, 52 entidades subestatales como Cataluña hicieron referéndums de independencia. Y desde 1991 se han hechos 53 más. Por tanto, en poco más de un siglo ha habido 105 referéndums de independencia. De estos 53 referendos hechos desde 1991, 26 han sido unilaterales. Desde 1991, 27 estados se han hecho independientes en el mundo, la inmensa mayoría con referendos unilaterales. 7 de estos estados hoy forman parte de la Unión Europea: Croacia, Eslovenia, Eslovaquia, Estonia, Letonia, Lituania y la República Checa. (Aquí está una lista de referéndums de independencia.)
Finalmente, a raíz de la independencia unilateral de Kossovo, una sentencia histórica de la Corte Internacional de Justicia (que puede encontrar aquí) dejó claro que la ley internacional no contenía ninguna prohibición que se pudiera utilizar para detener una declaración unilateral de independencia.

Por preguntar que no quede
Si una persona decide no ser súbdita de un rey determinado es su opción personal y no va más allá. Si yo y todas mis vecinas también compartimos esta misma idea (el 95% en mi municipio) elegimos un gobierno local que comparte esa idea. Cuando vemos que el 75% de los alcaldes de mi país también comparte esta idea elegimos un gobierno que nos representa y la comparte, con la condición de que se comprometa a preguntarnos a todas nuestra opinión sobre el tema. Pocas veces los gobernantes de Catalunya habían demostrado tanto valor y coherencia.
Comparto testimonios audiovisuales pues podrían ser censurados en breve, aquí se están conculcando derechos fundamentales de libertad de expresión y se ponen filtros a la difusión universal de la información.
