"CUBA WILL NEVER BE INDEPENDENT" (1896)

This statement was made by then Spain PM, Mr. Antonio Canovas del Castillo. 

Two years later, Cuba was independent, thanks to the Treaty of Paris.

Recently, current Spanish PM, Mr. Mariano Rajoy, said "There won't be Independence of Catalonia"

I advise readers to book hotel rooms in Paris, if you want to assist to the signature of a new Treaty of Paris, in 2017.
