1. Catalonia aren't leaving Spain - they can't. That's just like france leaving Portugal - France isn't in Portugal, so it cant leave
2. The constituion of Spain states that the Spanish nation is 'indivisible'. It says nothing about Catalonia or the Basque Country, just Spain. When Catalans wrre votingbfor that consitituion, they were voting for Spain, not Catalonia.
3. Do Spain have the right to impose their laws on a country that (possibly) doesn't want to be in it? The only way to find out is to let the vote...
4. "Don't forget everything Hitler did was legal" ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
The EU are saying that they support Spain in this because the Catalans are breaking the law. Thats like Churchill saying he won't declare war on Germany because what they are doing is perfectly legal.
Whether you're for or against Independence, we should all agree that Catalonia should be allowed vote for their own future
1. Uhh, no. It is very clear that Catalonia is an autonomous zone of Spain, yet still is apart of it.
2. No. If you look up what you claim it is very clear that after Franco's death, the constitution was agreed upon by all regions of Spain including Catalonia.
3. Read the two previous points. Catalonia is not a country and it was agreed upon by Catalonia itself.
4. No, it wasn't. He just ignored the constitution like you are doing know. Even though he had emergency powers he had no right to disband the senate. Also the extermination of races wasn't in the original German constitution.
Not because it was agreed previously that a vote would have to be agreed upon by all regions first.
