    I don’t share your assumption that we work on indepensence. The population wants independence but the actions of the politicians suggest that they don’t work on it. I expect that we will remain dependent because we don’t control our politicians.

      We do control our politicians, and that’s the benefit of democracy. If we don’t like our leaders, exchange them. That is a valuable right that has been fought for for thousands of years. It’s important to use that.

        We do control our politicians,

        In theory. Trump makes it obvious that the masses can be controlled by those in power by controlling the media.

        We have the established parties and the new parties on the right side of the spectrum that can’t be elected. There is no space for new politicians that could create independence.
