    There is a perfectly legal means by which they can seek independence, but it turns out that this movement is louder than it is popular.

      You mean changing the constitution? That’s pretty much impossible for Catalonians given that the rest of Spain doesn’t want secession. Incidentally that particular clause of the constitution dates back to Franco… so Spain is using a fascist construct to deny a people the right to self government.

        How is following the laws that Catalunya agreed to using a fascist construct? 95.5% of Catalunyans voted in favor of the constitution that enshrined them as part of Spain. They were given certain autonomous controls, that were later expanded giving them more control and most of the people didn’t even bother to vote on it.

        So explain to me, how this is fascist? Because I suppose you believe Lincoln was a fascist too then.
