Catalan referendum for independence

[Master]

It is strange that EU and Teresa May are silent on this issue.

I wouldn't expect May to want to speak about it. I believe the EU probably got into the ear of Prime Minister Rajoy and the People's Party being an offshoot of Franco's People's Alliance the natural action is to have an authoritarian crackdown on the people wanting to secede.


I wonder if the Basque country will also try to gain their independence from Spain and France....I think Quebec will be more peaceful if they decide on another referendum, but we will see.

Spanish government are stupid, they should let them have the referendum and not get police to beat them up. Ridiculous.

I support their push for independence. I always do in situations like this. Smaller concentrations of power with people in closer connection to their elected elites. It is the only way for democracy to truly emerge.
