I made a small edit back there (Just to add Basque Country); but regarding this statement, it definitively would. Catalonia contributes to Spain's economy in a huge way, and has an active political career on the Congress of Deputies.
I've heard from several sources that Catalonia's independence would actually take them to bankrupt, and it would be helpful to Spain since the economy system has established that Spain contributes more to Catalonia than the other way around. I don't agree with this theory, but it all depends on what Spain would do in case Catalonia chooses to abandon Spain.
I know we would be fucked, for example. I live on the Canary Islands and we're already fucked, despite the special economy system built around us due to distance to the mainland. Andalusia, which is arguably the biggest region in Spain, is also ruined at this point. The strongest regions are now the ones pushing for independence, (Catalonia, Basque Country, Valencia, and maybe Galicia too) whereas the poor ones are sinking along with the country.
