就中國香港特區政府在平安夜召開記者會,宣佈就通緝海外港人追加懲罰措施, 英國外相林德偉(David Lammy)發表聲明 ,表示當中有人是持有BNO護照、正在英國居住的人士,重申英國不容忍外國政府脅迫、恐嚇、滋擾或傷害海外的批評者,特別是身在英國的人士。 他在聲明中重申,呼籲中國取消港版國安法,呼籲香港當局停止針對身在英國及其他地方、為民主自由發聲的人士。 聲明表示,英國會捍衛香港人的權利,支持在英香港社群的人士,確保這些人安全是英國政府的優先工作。 盛傳英國財相李韻晴(Rachel Reeves)將在1月訪中,未知她訪中期間會否提及香港人權問題。 歐盟透過發言人譴責中國香港再向海外港人發出通緝令 ,批評當局持續把國安法應用在海外地區,只令歐盟更關注香港問題,傷害香港作為國際商業中心的吸引力。 歐盟再次要求中國履行國際承履,呼籲香港停止打壓親民主力量並維護《基本法》承諾的基本自由。 在記者會中,中國香港官員公佈對7名已被通緝的人士採取懲罰措施,例如沒收這些人透過犯罪獲得、存放在香港的資產,另外追加通緝6人,指控6人「是出賣自己的國家和香港、罔顧香港人利益,竄逃到海外後繼續做危害國家安全和損害香港社會整體利益的事情」。 ===== 如果想支持網主更新本blog、Twitter、Facebook等平台,並閱讀深度分析文章,歡迎訂閱我的Patreon,月費只是7.21美元: patreon.com/dungtaai
5月初蘇格蘭地選,主張蘇格蘭獨立的政黨首度獨得蘇議會過半數議席,即時令人揣測,蘇格蘭會在未來幾年內進行獨立公投,並會獨立;亦有不少人把蘇格蘭與西班牙的加泰隆尼亞作比較。
西班牙《國家報》上週一篇文章(英譯在此)就指出,「蘇獨」和「加獨」情況相差很遠,「蘇格蘭人」遠不及加泰羅尼亞人那麼熱衷要求獨立,甚至英格蘭人其實較蘇格蘭人更希望蘇格蘭獨立,不要不斷放權後又要在下議院「霸著」議席,影響英格蘭事務。
但更重要的是,歐洲已不再是一個個「獨立國家」,而是由一堆邦聯組成,見原文如下:
「(David) McCrone(, co-director of the Institute of Governance at the University of Edinburgh,) laughs at the simplicity of the view from London of the Scottish question. “The view from there tends to espy two possibilities: that Scotland will never be independent, and that independence is inevitable. I think it’s much more complicated than that. We live in a world where independence can be a problem. In reality, we’re talking about degrees of self-government. If independence is understood to be the classic nineteenth-century independent state with borders and armies and all those things, well, of course that’s not going to happen. That’s not the world we live in,” he explains. “In the world today, self-government is shared at different levels. Both Spain and Britain are members of the European Union. And the EU has power too. It’s not a matter of absolute sovereignty, but of shared sovereignty.”
「“My personal prediction is that Britain will follow a path to a confederation,” David McCrone continues. “In other words, when it will have to come, at some point in the future, there will be higher levels of self-government. Just as there are in Belgium, for very different reasons and in another context. Devolution of powers in Flanders and Wallonia is considerable. We are moving toward a world confederation, not a world of completely independent states. A world in which Scotland, Catalonia and of course the Basque Country will go further in self-government. Things change......」
某程度上,同樣的想法可應用在中國上--「絕對的主權」已是上世紀(初)的產物,在中國則是在列強侵略下自保的一個思維。而且,事實上,中國歷史上就算是統一且中央集權,不同朝代都有進行某種的地區自治模式。
統一和獨立之間,還有很多選擇。
