Despite the globalists dreams of no more countries seems like we humans prefer self rule from smaller countries of our own. Next up....Kurdistan!

So will Spain just wave goodbye and let them go peacefully or will them send in their version of General Sherman to slash and burn his way to the sea and crush those rascally rebels once and for all? Taking bets....

Catalan referendum: Region's independence 'in matter of days'

I'm sure we will be hearing from Spain noises about "preserving the Union" shortly.

The Spanish national government may fail by succeeding.

It has to be careful that it’s actions do not drive the move to independence in Catalonia to represent 100% of the populace due to actions seen as too extreme in how the national government tries to stop it.

What is not needed is another movement in Spain that wants to take up arms for its cause. It took years but they got the Basque region to move away from that, but if they are not careful they could create a spirit toward that in Catalonia.

Since last November, Spain’s stock market has grown more than most nations markets have. This week not so good while the rest of the European nations keep moving upward. If this can pass peacefully, Spain’s market could get back on track, Bigley.

FYI

Barcelona (/bɑːrsəˈloʊnə/, Catalan: [bəɾsəˈlonə]) is the capital and largest city of Catalonia, an autonomous community in Spain, and the country's second most populous municipality, with a population of 1.6 million within city limits.[2] Its urban area extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 4.7 million people,[5] being the sixth most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, Madrid, the Ruhr area and Milan.[3] It is the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea, located on the coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, and bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the tallest peak of which is 512 metres (1,680 feet) high.
