Catalan parliament has deployed a referendum law with +1 MPs, breaking regional Catalan law, silencing opposition and its own constituent powers. The referendum law states that any positive result from the referendum will result in a declaration of independence, with or without agreement with the central government. Trying not to be get too biased, I'd conclude that Spanish central government is trying to protect the rule of law, state-wide or regional-wide, while also protecting those who didn't vote for separatists parties, which in 2015 elections were 52%.

You can be biased as long as you're truthful. Sadly, you are not being truthful. Catalan Parliament passed a law with more than 50% of the vote. In a Parliamentary democracy, Parliament is sovereign. The law says that if YES wins, there will be a mandate for independence and negotiations will start with the central government. If the result is NO the Catalan Parliament will dissolve the government and call for regional elections. More than 80% of Catalans want a legally binding referendum, regardless of pro or against indy.
