It explains why the European political elites have turned their backs on Carles Puigdemont.<br />
The international media has been overly biased for the pro-independentists in the Spanish region of Catalonia. This is in stark contrast to the reactions from major international leaders and organizations.<br />
The international media have failed to research the issue and inform the public.<br />
The media have failed to understand the way to conflict the pro-independentists have applied since 1975 when General Franco died.</p><p>In Catalonia - Way to Conflict the author offered the scenario of Hezbollah and Iran using an independent Catalonia - a region in Northern Spain bordering France with 7.5 million inhabitants and a Muslim minority of 500,000 - many of them radicalized - as a stepping stone into Europe.</p><p>In Catalonia &ndash; Way to Conflict the author offered this and similar scenarios as one of the key reasons for the European political elites and the European institutions to shy away from granting the fanatised pro-independentist Catalans support for a nation state in the northern Spanish region.<br />
The security risks for Europe of such an alliance are terrifying.<br />
In the book Radical IsIam and Compliance in Financial Institutions the author showed why and how the financial sector should monitor terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah.</p><p>In the book Hezbollah - Cuckoo in the Nest - the author researched further information on Hezbollah - the most dangerous terror organisation in the World - and its extensive criminal network in Europe, which has been used to fund terror elsewhere. The European political elites have contrary to current law allowed Hezbollah to operate unhindered in return for an understanding that Hezbollah would not commit terror in Europe again. However, Hezbollah regularly commits terror in Europe, just to show the European leaders how dangerous it is and frighten them into submission.</p>
