Some people here seems not to realize that German salaries come with 30 days paid vacation, a year of parental leaves, first grade medical coverage in a relatively cheap country to live in. If your life goes wrong, due to illnesses, unfores

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:&#

I'm not very sold on saying that Catalonia is an "ethnic nation" (or comparable to Kosovo like some claim), but I mostly agree. I wish the referendum would have been legal, and that independence, with a support from the major

This might be right. But also note that Spain already features a lot of decentralization and Catalonia is at the head of this. This is very illustrative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_communities_of_Spai...

I didn't frame anyone. I just said that the people calling the shots in this conflict are nationalists. In fact, I'm saying the majority of non-nationalistic people are just hostages in this fight, which are only good to convert m
