I personally am against it. I think that a future socialist Spain would be stronger if it was unified, and division would threaten that. I also don’t think the arguments for seperation are that strong and the pro-independence movement is not just left wingers. I think like half of the movement are liberals, like Puigdemont.

But I’m not that well read in this topic so if you think otherwise I’m willing to listen

    So long as Spain is in the EU this whole thing is a moot point. Catalonia would not achieve independence, it would simply go from being a province of Spain to a satrapy of Brussels. Until and unless the Catalan independence movement is an explicitly anti-EU movement dedicated to taking the region out of the grip of the EU and NATO, nothing substantial would change.

    So i don’t care either way.

    Now Scottish independence, that is something i do support. Breaking up the UK would be an unequivocally good thing regardless whether the movement doing it is left wing nationalist or right wing nationalist.
