There's nothing sudden at all. They effectively lost their independence 300 years ago but the drive for independence has always been there (along, famously, with a few other parts of modern Spain). They have their own language, their own culture.
Their desire for independence has been around for hundreds of years.
But even if that wasn't the case: what's wrong with that? Why would a few million people that want to form a sovereign state have to be held hostage by the others just because they're wealthier?

And what culture!: Cars, cinemas, smartphones, paellas, metro, electric lights, big buildings, McDonalds, Hollywood films, playstations, computers... all created and discovered by the industrious Catalonian people. They also eat onions entire, make a substitute of Champagne and are expert climbing over other people to raise nice castles in the thin air. Yeah, they have their own culture, as every other guy/girl in the country (and their pets). Everybody has a culture and a millenary history to tell here.
