A Cure for Spain's Malaise

Fueled by Rotten Eggs, An Annual Mock Coup Mirrors Spain's Mood describes an annual ritual coup d' etat celebrated in Ibi Spain.  A Libertarian view versus Spain's classic Authoritarian heritage would do much to fix the its current malaise.  Corruption is and has always been a big problem because of centralized decision making.  Really federalizing the country with a minimal central government would do much to take decision making locally and thereby reduce corruption.  Federalizing would also solve the separatist problem of Catalonia and the Basque country among others, Galicia I hear is making separatist noises, as well. Spain's model should be like Switzerland (Confederation Helvetica) where people speaking French, German and Italian are proud to be Swiss and yet have a government structure where they hardly talk to each other.
