- patrickaljord 9y agoSpain and the EU (who's turning a blind eye) can't let this happen. If every productive region who's fed up of paying for the regions who don't produce much and spend irresponsibly declare independence, this would be the end of the EU and of most of its countries. Can't let that happen. Let's hope at least this will put pressure on non-productive regions to start spending more responsibly other regions money and make their economy more competitive and productive by liberalizing the economy a bit more.
