PM of Spain sounds downright Lincolnesqe; sure, declare independence so long as you "honor your obligations"...e.g. keep paying up. That's gonna be real popular (not). Must be why they're already sending in the army.

On the general population due to being a bunch of incompetent boobs. They shouldn't be fooling with that crap in the first place; biological weapons are the classic case of a ditch you dig for you neighbor only to fall in yourself.
