Self-determination can't be apply to a region of Spain.
'In international law, the right of self-determination that became recognized in the 1960s was interpreted as the right of all colonial territories to become independent or to adopt any other status they freely chose. Ethnic or other distinct groups within colonies did not have a right to separate themselves from the "people" of the territory as a whole.'

- Gupie 7y agoThe wikipedia article says "There are conflicting definitions and legal criteria for determining which groups may legitimately claim the right to self-determination." Have you not just pick a definition that agrees with you political point of view? "Other definitions offered are "peoples" being self-evident (from ethnicity, language, history, etc.), or defined by "ties of mutual affection or sentiment", i.e. "loyalty", or by mutual obligations among peoples.[40] Or the definition may be simply that a people is a group of individuals who unanimously choose a separate state"
