The government of Catalonia can hold a referendum following the Law. The problem here is that the government of Catalonia is not following even their own regional laws approved by them, not to mention the Spanish Constitution.
The secessionists have even forbidden the opposition to participate in the debates in the Parliament of Catalonia.
Edit to add: it is not the same a country willing to participate in an union and then deciding to leave it, than a movement in a nation (Spain) where some people in there decide they want to transform a part of Spain in an independent nation.
Remember also that Catalonia has never been a nation.
- mas886 9y agoSeeing how things are going for a REFERENDUM, do you think they will ever allow catalans to make a legal referendum as long as we are in Spain?
- tertius 9y agoYou should explain this in a main comment that hopefully gets upvoted to the top.
- notspanishflu 9y agoDone, thank you for the advice.
- jordic 9y agoNot true. It's a troll comment from unionism.
- tertius 9y agoThen refute it. That's how speech works. Saying "it's wrong" is meaningless.
- jordic 9y agoThat's not true. Catalonia had been a nation since before Spain. Catalan government is just trying to do a referendum to check if independence makes sense. Spanish gov is affraid of checking it because they know what can happen. On Spanish history there is a rule.. saying that Barcelona had to be attacked with bombs from time to time to have them quiet.
- notspanishflu 9y agoSee? That's the problem. If you truly believe this lie "Catalonia had been a nation since before Spain" then you've decided to close your eyes to History, and there's nothing I can say to change your mind.
- jordic 9y agoI think you had studied only the Spanish history O_O. You need to look for alandulus, la marca hispana and països catalans at Google... :)
- notspanishflu 9y agoYou have called me troll in another comment but when someone ask for reputable sources your answer is 'google it'.
