Dear Log,
«Several Socialist politicians walked out of a ceremony in which General Alfonso Pardo de Santayana said: "At a time when some people believe that the unity of Spain is in danger, I propose a toast to the king, the head of state and the army as guarantors of that unity."WE WILL OBLITERATE YOU WITH OUR CRUSHING EMBRACE OF ANGRY NATIONAL UNITY! WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP HEY WHY ARE YOU GUYS RUNNING AWAY?The government has been highly sensitive about military criticism of the autonomy charter after another general, José Mena, suggested that the military could act if the charter presented a threat to the "unity" of Spain. Gen Mena was sacked. Gen Pardo de Santayana apologised for his words yesterday, claiming that they had been misunderstood.»
--"Catalonia leads the way for Spain's regions with yes vote for autonomy"
