Look at it from this point:
I'm an spanish citizen thereby granted to have free access to all national territory. If just catalan people is allowed to vote, then they are depriving me, and other spanish citizens, from the right to freely visit/live/work in catalonia.
- notspanishflu 9y agoIs not only that. The article 1.2 of the Spanish Constitution clearly states: "The national sovereignty resides in the Spanish people, from whom all the powers of the state emanate." All Spanish people have the right to decide about all the things in Spain, not just a bunch of people.
- gerardnll 9y agoThe same way you choose to divorce with somebody. You don’t let your partner choose whether he lets you break up with him/her or not. If some workers had followed the law maybe you would still work for 12 hours and a shitty salary (now that i think... this still aplies now)
- notspanishflu 9y agoYeah, try to get a divorce without respecting the Law.
- JTechno 9y agoYou are mixing apples with pears. Some people are willing to take possession of a piece of land that is not theirs.
- antaviana 9y agoOK. I will try. I am a EU citizen thereby granted to have free access to all EU territory. If just UK people is allowed to vote, then they are depriving me, and other EU citizens, from the right to freely visit/live/work in UK.
- JTechno 9y agoThat right that you are claiming about is not granted with the EU citizenship BUT IT IS with the spanish citizenship.
- antaviana 9y agoI'm not sure if I follow you. EU citizens have the right to freely access the whole EU territory for work/visit/capital, anything. In fact, that's what the EU is about; freedom to move people or money.
- gerardnll 9y agoThe same way your wife wants to divorce you and you don’t have a word about it. Who deprives you from working, living and visiting Catalonia?
- JTechno 9y agoIf catalonia becomes a country then border laws apply...
- arien 9y agoSpain is divided by autonomias (comunidades autonomas). You can vote wherever you're registered to vote, nowhere else. I can't vote on issues in Extremadura or Valencia because I'm not registered in there. I understand this affects Spain as a whole, so after the vote there should be a proper discussion rather than direct secession action (IF that were the result). But this question is regional, the rest of Spain doesn't decide if they want to live in an independent Catalonia state, because they don't live in there.
