Keep in mind that Barcelona (with 4 million people, many of them from other regions) is not as pro-independence as the rest. If you take it out of the equation, or look at results per county or town, the thing looks way different: https://datos.elconfidencial.com/map1-independentismo-cataluna-27s/#8/41.927/1.945 https://datos.elconfidencial.com/map1-independentismo-catalu... This map shows yellow where pro-independence parties got more vote than the others. The tragedy of Catalonia is that the most populated areas are way less pro-independence than the rest of the land. Thus, nationalists only got 48% of total votes, despite winning (clearly) in most counties.

Yes, if you ignore the people who is not pro-independence, then the independentism is a clear majority. Maybe the situation would be less tragic if those nationalist counties had tried to declare independence from the Tarragona-Barcelona arc, the Aran Valley and the rest of Spain. For sure it would be more comic. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain-politics-catalonia-union/a-split-within-a-split-the-catalan-valley-sticking-with-spain-idUSKBN1CE1D9 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-spain-politics-catalonia-...
