Catalonia could break away, then apply for EU membership, and would be accepted.

Everybody else is accepted eventually.

Nonsense article.

It’s just a nonsense claim by Almunia.

Problem is that Spain can veto Catalonia's application - and the Spanish government has said it will do so.

Personally I wold have seen this as a gift from the Spanish people to the Catalans, but I'm not sure they see it like that.

The EU does its utmost to replay the 1930s. Here comes the Spanish Civil War.
