Lucas Barnes
Excuse me, Catalunya won't leave Spain alone. We will go with Regne de València i les Illes Balears

Is there an increased talk of regions having an exit from Spain recently?
Isaac Evans

No. It's always been that way.
Different culture.

Tell an ignorant Brit why Catalonia are agitating for independence?
Blake Johnson
They don't like how Franco forced their grand parents to stop speaking catalan and learn spanish instead.
That's about it.

Not before Quebec gets independance, because its 100x more deserveful
Parker Allen
As soon as posible.
Joseph Scott
So absolutely nothing to do with soveriegnty or the EU? Just language?
Matthew Ramirez
I was simplifying but the unity of Spain is pretty thin. Places like Catalonia and the Basque Country still have fairly strong regional identity. Think of Scotland with wine instead of wiskey. They are neither culturally disattached from the rest nor culturally identical.

Such a deep answer
wow, just wow

Catalonia has no case for independece. They were never a nation, Catalonia was part of the kingdom of Aragon thus the yellow and red striped flag - which they share with Aragon, Valencia & the Balearic Islands.
This whole scam of independence is a strategy that benefits both parties involved.
>Catalonian politicians, politics & corruption in Catalonia goes together (as the rest of Spain) so the whole muhhhhh different culture is bull. By "fighting" for independence politicians can get away with corruption and using public funds for their interest (see the Jordi family)
>Spanish politicians, it creates a divide and conquer state in Spain, making it easy for left wing parties to gain votes, by promising to fight for more "autonomy" for the separatist regions (see Podemos)
Nicholas Hill
I see, but Catalonia has regional autonomy already. It seems the explanation that they are motivated only by culture falls short in explaining entirely.
