I'd say he represents the mindset of an "ad hoc Spaniard", rather than the Catalan strong moral mindset. It isn't much the dishonesty but the weak-mindedness of subjugating quickly to wrongfulness. Spaniards, unlike the pagan Catalans, were the firsts who'd support the religious invasion of Spain that they resisted. To date, the Catalan population is Agnostic and Atheist, and it is thanks to the Catalans that Spain has its constitution and system of laws, religious and other types of freedoms, as they were the sole source of natural law, however, the sexism of both Spanish men and women, subsists due to their majoritarian seats within their government, whereby the Catalans represent a minority. This is why Catalonia was at the heart of the Basque independence movement.
