That's not true, I think you are confusing Catalonia with Scotland.
Preciselly one of the main issues is that a part o Catalonian society (I would say a big one, from both sides, independentist and non independentists) wants a referndum, but Spain refuses to do it.
- hummel 7y agoCatalonia society already voted many times, and the results were very clear, with no support to independence. You can translate from here all the times they did: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proceso_soberanista_de_Catalu%C3%B1a_de_2012-2019 https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proceso_soberanista_de_Catalu%...
- xiker 7y agoThose weren't "referendums", those where "enquirys" which is not the same. The result of an "enquiry" has no legal obligations, for example, in the first enquiry, independentist won by far (81%), but there was no independence. It some way of knowing what people/society thinks about an issue. As I said in my previous comment, there haven`t been any referendums about independence in Spain (I live in Spain so I think I know about what I'm talking), basically because the spanish goverment doesn't want to, and on the other hand, the so called "rigth to choose or decide" with a referendum is one of the things Catalonians (and also Basks) want.
- tassl 7y agoWait, both referendums (November 9th and October 1st) had +80% independence support. I am not sure why you would use them to make the opposite point?
