From all the articles that I read today about the refusal by the Spanish Parliament to green light the Ibarretxe Plan, the one at Deutsche Welle is the one that called my attention the most.
If Europe is moving towards a new definition of nation, if the European Union is bringing down the old concepts of what it meant to be a nation and states are doing away with borders and their own currency, if all that is viewed as natural evolution, how can the bid by the Scots, the Basques and the Irish to get more autonomy and still be an integral part of this new Europe can be considered devolution?
If anything, this nations without state are actually a step forward in relation with the rest of Europe.
