Strauss says:

“With the Catalonian Parliament’s vote for independence the struggle for public opinion – the key target – moves into high gear.

“Ahead lies a great deal of jockeying and debate, promises and warnings, fears and hopes. Catalonia has not yet crossed the Rubicon but it has taken a step closer.”
